Frequently asked questions

At European Affair, we understand that car and motorhome servicing can raise a lot of questions, especially when it comes to maintenance, repairs, and knowing what’s best for your vehicle. We’ve put together this FAQ page to help answer the most common queries we receive.

Whether you drive a European car, a family vehicle, or a fully fitted-out motorhome, our experienced team of mechanics in Geelong is here to make servicing and repairs easy, transparent and stress-free.

Do you service all makes and models?

Yes. While we specialise in European vehicles, we service and maintain all makes and models, from everyday family cars to high-performance vehicles and commercial vans. We’re also fully equipped to handle all types of motorhomes.

How often should I service my car or motorhome?

As a general guide, we recommend servicing your vehicle every 10,000–15,000 kilometres or every 6–12 months, whichever comes first. For motorhomes, regular checks are especially important if they’ve been off the road for long periods. Our team can help set a service schedule that suits your driving habits and manufacturer requirements.

Do you offer logbook servicing that maintains my warranty?

Yes, we provide fully compliant logbook servicing that meets all manufacturer guidelines, without affecting your new car warranty. All work is carried out by qualified technicians using quality parts and lubricants.

Can you diagnose warning lights or fault codes?

Absolutely. We use advanced diagnostic scan tools to accurately detect and interpret fault codes in all vehicles, including European models. Whether it’s an engine warning light, ABS issue or a sensor fault, we’ll identify the problem and provide a clear explanation of the next steps.

What’s included in a standard vehicle service?

A general vehicle service usually includes:

Oil and filter replacement
Brake and tyre inspection
Fluid top-up (coolant, brake, transmission, etc.)
Battery check
Steering and suspension check
Lighting and safety system test
Diagnostic scan if required

We’ll provide a full service report so you know exactly what was completed and any recommendations for upcoming maintenance.

Do you specialise in European vehicles?

Yes. European Affair has built a reputation on servicing and repairing European cars with precision and care. Our team is experienced with brands such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Volvo, Alfa Romeo and more. We use the correct tools, diagnostic systems and techniques designed specifically for these makes.

Can you service motorhomes of all sizes?

Yes, we offer comprehensive servicing and repairs for motorhomes of all shapes and sizes, including suspension upgrades, mechanical repairs and general maintenance. Whether you’re prepping for a long road trip or need post-holiday repairs, our technicians are ready to help.

Do I need to book in advance?

We recommend booking in advance, especially during peak periods, to ensure we can accommodate your preferred time. However, we’ll always do our best to fit in urgent jobs or last-minute requests. You can easily book online or contact us to discuss your needs.

Do you use genuine parts?

We use high-quality parts that meet or exceed manufacturer standards. For customers who prefer genuine OEM parts, we can source and install them upon request. All parts and labour come with a warranty for peace of mind.

What if I just need a safety check or inspection?

No problem. We offer a range of services including pre-purchase inspections, roadworthy checks, and general condition reports. These are ideal if you’re buying a used car, preparing for a trip, or just want to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Do you offer air con servicing?

Yes. Our air conditioning service includes system checks, gas recharge, and leak detection to ensure your air con performs efficiently year-round. This is particularly important for Geelong drivers facing summer heat or long regional drives.

Do you do suspension and brake repairs?

We do. From brake pad replacements to full suspension rebuilds and performance upgrades, we handle all components to keep your car or motorhome safe and comfortable on the road.
