It’s almost time for my yearly logbook service. I have a newish car, it was made in 2017 and it’s now 2022, so I’m still within my manufacturer’s logbook requirements. I think it may last ten years? I’m not sure. I just give the mechanic my logbook and let her do whatever it is she needs to do. After all, she’s the expert mechanic servicing Ringwood cars, not me.
I wonder if my car will need anything out of the ordinary for this service. Last time, I needed to get something extra done to my wheels. I’m not quite sure what was wrong with them, maybe they had become misaligned or something. Whatever it was I’m not sure, but I gave my mechanic a nod and let her do what needed to be done. It cost me a bit extra than I would have liked it to, but my mechanic did a great job and so I can’t complain. My car has run incredibly well this year and it’s all thanks to the incredible work she has done.
I have a feeling that I might need a break repair. In the Ringwood area, the roads are really hilly and rough. I also have to do a lot of stop-start driving once I hit roads closer to the city, which puts pressure on my brakes. I am also a bit of a nervous driver and so I hover over the brakes a lot as I drive. A lot of the time, I’m driving with my foot against the brake pedal. That’s why I have a feeling that my car will need some sort of brake repair or service, even though it’s pretty much new and is still in its logbook service period. I guess it’s my fault for driving so anxiously once I hit the city traffic.
Whatever the price of the logbook service is, I’m lucky that I’ll be able to afford it. I don’t have a high paying job by any stretch of the imagination, but I am good at budgeting and have money saved for situations such as this.
