Holden Service

What is included in a Holden service?

For any Holden still under warranty, Lube Mobile mechanics will complete your Holden service as described in your logbook. These can differ depending on the exact model of your car and what stage service your vehicle needs. Only by keeping to the schedule as laid out in your logbook can you maintain your warranty, so as an accredited provider, Lube Mobile will adhere to these guidelines. An easy way to find out what needs to happen is to check your car's logbook.

If you need a Holden service on a car that has passed its warranty period (usually over 5-7 years old), we recommend having one of our annual services completed. This yearly Holden service will include:

• Change of engine oil and filter

• An under the bonnet fluid check and top-up

• An examination of the charging and ignition systems

• A brake and safety systems check 

Lube Mobile has mobile workshops operating all over Australia, with a strong presence in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin, and many other locations. It doesn’t matter if you are driving close to home or on the other side of the country, with Lube Mobile we truly are the local mechanic that is always ‘near me’. You can rely on us while you're away from home on holidays and to help you out if things go a little pear-shaped with your vehicle.

Booking in to have your car serviced and most or car repaired can be done online through our booking system (available 24/7) or you can call one of our customer service agents on 13 30 32 and they'll be more than happy to take you through the process.

How much does a Holden service cost?

At Lube Mobile, we are open about the prices we charge for a Holden service. You can easily check on the price of your car service at the time of booking or before. For non-warranty services the prices are available on our website, for warranty services it can be difficult to show all pricing. If you’re looking for a service that is comparable to your Holden capped price servicing, you can call our customer service centre on 13 30 32.

In most cases a Holden dealership service can be more expensive than going through a local mechanic, this is because of the costs involved with delivering your car to them. Not only will you need to pay the prices they charge (and often it does not cover parts and lubricants), but you’ll need to consider how you’ll get home or back to work after delivering your vehicle. All of these costs add up and may equal much more than having your car serviced somewhere much closer to home.

How long does a Holden service take?

In most cases, a Holden service will be completed in a little under two (2) hours. If there are problems identified that need to be fixed (we’ll call you to confirm before completing any repairs) it may take longer than usual.

When you hire Lube Mobile to do your service you’ll only be without the vehicle for as long as the service or repairs take. We’ll complete the job and hand you back the car as soon as we’re finished. This means that you won’t need to give up the car for an entire day, or wait in a line as everyone else picks up their vehicle.

How often should I get a Holden service done?

Holden’s that have passed their warranty period should be getting a Holden service completed at least once per year, and more if you're driving over the average amount of kilometres per year (about 15,000km). This is enough to be certain that everything is kept in good running order. If it has been more than a year since your last service, we’d recommend booking in for one of our more detailed services, you can call Lube Mobile on 13 30 32, and we’ll make a suggestion that is suitable for your vehicle.

If your car is still within warranty, we’ll follow the frequency as set out in your vehicle’s logbook. This can vary depending on the specific age of your car. Many people think that they need to make use of any offered Holden fixed price servicing when their car is under warranty. But this is not exactly true, you can still shop around for the best deal possible, and many local mechanics, such as Lube Mobile, can complete suitable warranty services on your car. Call us on 13 30 32, and we’ll give you an accurate price structure that includes all lubricants and parts used (sometimes omitted from a fixed price service).
