A log book service is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes can keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. It can also prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could be costly to repair.

Log book servicing is the minimum servicing your manufacturer requires in order for you to maintain your car's warranty. You're required to complete a log book service for your car at specified intervals during your warranty period, such as every six months.

The single biggest risk of skipping a service is a breakdown of oil or the sludging of oil, both of which will destroy an engine. If you've missed a car service, you'll run the risk of a totalled car because you haven't changed the oil regularly
