LOGBOOK SERVICING ADELAIDE

Protect your European car's manufacturer warranty without paying dealer prices. CADE follows manufacturer logbook schedules exactly, uses genuine parts, and stamps your service book — at 30–50% less than dealership pricing.

WARRANTY PROTECTION IS YOUR RIGHT UNDER ACL

Under Australian Consumer Law, you are not required to service your vehicle at the dealership to maintain your manufacturer warranty. As long as the work is performed by a qualified workshop following the manufacturer's logbook schedule using approved parts and fluids, your warranty remains fully intact.

CADE Technologies is exactly that qualified workshop. We follow every manufacturer-specified service interval, use genuine OEM or OEM-equivalent parts, and stamp your logbook on completion. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has explicitly confirmed this — dealers cannot legally refuse warranty claims because you used an independent specialist.

The savings typically run 30–50% against dealer pricing. On a major service that's hundreds of dollars back in your pocket, with no compromise on service quality, warranty protection, or resale value. Need more than a scheduled service? See our European servicing and ECU repair pages.

LOGBOOK FAQ

Will using CADE void my manufacturer warranty?

No. Under Australian Consumer Law, you can service your vehicle at any qualified independent workshop using manufacturer-approved parts and fluids without voiding your factory warranty. CADE Technologies follows manufacturer logbook schedules exactly, uses genuine or OEM-equivalent parts, and stamps your service book — keeping your warranty fully intact.

Do you use genuine parts?

Yes. We use genuine OEM parts by default, or OEM-equivalent parts from the same original-equipment suppliers (e.g. Mahle, Hengst, Bosch) where appropriate. All parts meet or exceed manufacturer specifications.

How much cheaper are you than the dealer?

Typically 30–50% less than dealer pricing for equivalent work. A major service on a Mercedes C63 at the dealer is commonly $1,400–$1,800; the same service at CADE starts from $850 inc GST (typically $850–$950) using identical parts and procedures.

Can you service lease or novated-lease vehicles?

Yes. We work with all major novated-lease and finance companies including SG Fleet, LeasePlan, Custom Fleet, and FleetPartners. We invoice the fleet directly where required.

Do you offer loan cars?

Yes, loan cars are available for longer services by prior arrangement. Alternatively, our Largs North workshop is close to public transport, including Largs North train station.

How far in advance do I need to book?

We recommend booking 1–2 weeks ahead for minor services and 2–3 weeks for major services. Urgent bookings can often be accommodated within 2–3 days — call Show number or use our online booking system.
