Major servicing for Modbury drivers who want it done properly
Modbury sits at the heart of Adelaide's north-east, anchored by the busy Tea Tree Plaza precinct and the O-Bahn interchange. With Montague Road, Reservoir Road and North East Road all funnelling traffic through the area, local tyres cop plenty of stop-start wear. A short run down to our Cross Keys Rd workshop keeps Modbury cars rolling smoothly. That kind of local driving is exactly why regular servicing matters: short trips, school traffic, stop-start arterials and longer northern-suburbs runs all put different demands on oil, brakes, cooling, suspension and batteries.
At Speed Service, major service means more than an oil change. We work through the service items, inspect the car properly, explain what we find, and quote before any extra repairs. Modbury drivers come to Speed Service for honest pricing and quick turnarounds, knowing their car gets the same careful attention whether it's a quick puncture repair or a full brake job.

The service items, plus the things that catch people out
A major service is the right time to catch wear before it becomes a breakdown. We check the vehicle as a whole, not just the oil and filter, then talk you through anything urgent and anything that can safely wait.
- Engine oil and oil filter replacement
- Air, fuel and cabin filter checks (replaced as needed)
- Top-up and inspection of key fluids (coolant, brake, power steering, washer)
- Brake system inspection for pad and disc wear
- Multi-point inspection of belts, hoses, suspension and steering
- Tyre condition and pressure check
- Battery and charging system check

We service to the manufacturer's schedule, use suitable quality parts and fluids, and record the work in your logbook. Under Australian Consumer Law, servicing at a qualified independent workshop should not on its own void your new-car warranty.
It depends on the car and what we find during the inspection. A major service usually takes a few hours, so most customers drop the car off. Tell us if you need it back by a certain time and we'll work around it where we can.
