Keeping your car running smoothly isn’t just about waiting for a warning light to pop up — regular servicing is essential for reliability, safety, and avoiding costly repairs down the line. At McMahon Automotive, we know that not every car or customer has the same needs, so we’ve tailored our services to offer three practical and affordable options: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s included in each service — and why it matters for the health of your vehicle.
🟫 Bronze Service – Essential Maintenance
What’s Included:
✅ Engine Oil & Oil Filter Change
Why It’s Important:
The Bronze service is your baseline maintenance and ideal for cars that are newer or have recently had a major service. Changing the oil and oil filter is the single most important thing you can do to protect your engine.
Over time, oil becomes dirty and loses its ability to lubricate and cool engine parts, leading to friction, overheating, and wear. Neglecting oil changes can result in engine damage or complete failure — which can cost thousands.
Recommended for:
Drivers who clock up lots of kilometres
Cars with a regular servicing schedule
Between major services to keep things running smoothly
⚪️ Silver Service – Essential + Fluid & Tyre Check
What’s Included:
✅ Engine Oil & Oil Filter Change
✅ Check & Top-Up of All Engine Bay Fluids
(radiator/coolant, power steering, transmission, brake fluid, washer fluid)
✅ Tyre Pressure Check & Adjustment
Why It’s Important:
This is our most popular service, offering a solid combination of engine protection and overall safety checks. Fluids are the lifeblood of your car — just like oil, they degrade over time or leak. Low brake fluid or coolant can lead to dangerous driving conditions or overheating.
Correct tyre pressure not only improves safety and handling, but also boosts fuel efficiency and tyre lifespan.
Recommended for:
Monthly or quarterly maintenance for daily drivers
Cars that haven’t been checked in 6+ months
Before a long road trip
🟡 Gold Service – The Full Works
What’s Included:
✅ Engine Oil & Oil Filter Change
✅ Air Filter & Cabin (Pollen) Filter Check/Replacement
✅ Full Fluid & Level Check (coolant, brake, power steering, washer, etc.)
✅ Lights, Wipers & Battery Check
✅ Tyre Pressure & Tread Depth Check
✅ Steering & Suspension Inspection
✅ Full Diagnostic Scan
✅ Road Test
Why It’s Important:
The Gold service is our comprehensive top-to-bottom check, designed to catch problems early, extend your vehicle’s lifespan, and ensure optimal performance.
From dirty air filters that reduce fuel economy, to unnoticed steering issues or worn suspension, this service is about preventive care, not just basic maintenance. The included diagnostic scan helps detect issues with sensors, emissions, and engine performance — even before they show symptoms.
A test drive allows us to identify issues that can’t be seen on a hoist — like brake pulsation, strange noises, or poor handling.
Recommended for:
Annual service
Pre-purchase or pre-warranty inspections
Older vehicles or those with inconsistent service history
Drivers wanting full peace of mind
🛠️ Why Service Levels Matter
Each level of service plays a different role in your vehicle’s maintenance schedule:
Service Level | Focus | Best For |
Bronze | Basic engine protection | Budget-friendly maintenance or interim service |
Silver | Engine + key fluids & tyres | Regular upkeep, fuel savings & safe driving |
Gold | Full safety, performance & diagnostics | Preventive care, long-term reliability, full confidence |
