What’s Included in a Ford Service?
A standard logbook service at Frankston Ford covers the essentials to keep your vehicle running safely and efficiently:
- Engine Oil and Filter Replacement — using Ford-approved oil for your specific engine
- Tyre Pressure Check and Rotation (where applicable)
- Brake Inspection — pads, discs, and fluid
- Battery Health Check
- Air Filter Inspection
- Fluid Top-ups — coolant, washer fluid, and more
- Multi-point Vehicle Inspection — lights, wipers, belts, and suspension
- Logbook Stamp — protecting your warranty and resale value
A major service includes everything above, plus spark plug replacement, cabin air filter replacement, and a more thorough inspection of key mechanical systems.
Every service at our Frankston Ford Service Centre is carried out by Ford trained technicians using genuine Ford parts — not aftermarket alternatives.
Why Genuine Servicing Actually Matters
It’s tempting to save a few dollars at an independent mechanic. However, these initial savings often disappear and cost you more in the long run. For a Ford under warranty, there are real advantages to staying with a genuine Ford dealer.
- Your Warranty Stays Intact
Ford’s new vehicle warranty requires your car to be serviced in line with the manufacturer’s schedule. Skipping a service or using a non-approved workshop can create complications if you ever need to make a warranty claim.
- Ford-trained Technicians Know Your Car
Our service team works on Fords every day. They have access to Ford’s diagnostic tools, technical service bulletins, and software updates that general mechanics simply don’t.
- Genuine Parts, Genuine Protection
From oil grades to brake components, Ford Genuine Parts are engineered for your specific vehicle. Using cheaper alternatives can affect performance, fuel economy, and longevity — sometimes in ways you won’t notice until something goes wrong.
- Resale Value
A full-service history from a Ford dealership is one of the strongest trust signals when selling a used vehicle. Buyers — and dealers — pay more for it. Speaking of which, if you’re in the market for a quality used car in the area, check out our 2026 Used Car Buyer’s Guide for Frankston.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dealership Servicing Worth it?
For vehicles under warranty — yes, absolutely. For older Fords, it still makes sense if you want access to Ford diagnostics, genuine parts, and a stamped logbook. The price difference between a dealership and a general mechanic is often smaller than people expect, especially under Ford’s capped-price program.
How Often Should I Service my Ford?
Most modern Fords require servicing every 12 months or 15,000 km, whichever comes first. Some models with Ford’s Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor may extend this interval — your instrument cluster will alert you when a service is due. When in doubt, check your owner’s manual or ask our service team.
Do I Need Logbook Servicing?
If your vehicle is under the manufacturer’s warranty, yes — logbook servicing is essential. It ensures your warranty remains valid, documents the full service history, and protects your investment. Even once your car is out of warranty, a logbook-stamped service history adds measurable resale value.
Can I use a Non-Ford Mechanic and Keep my Warranty?
Under Australian Consumer Law, you’re not required to use a dealership for servicing — but the service must meet Ford’s specifications, use appropriate parts, and be properly documented. Using a Ford dealer is the safest and simplest way to ensure full compliance and avoid any warranty disputes.
