    How much should you expect to pay for a 4WD service?

    A general 4WD service can cost between $150-$600. 4WD servicing costs can vary quite a bit due to the age of the vehicle, the model, and whether you need to repair or replace anything (like a worn-out suspension or brake pads). And with 4WDs in particular, each rig’s setup can be pretty unique, so there’s plenty of variables that can affect price.

    When you come into mycar, whether it’s for a logbook or a basic service, we’ll give you an initial quote upfront. We’ll also let you know if we discover any unexpected problems once we’ve inspected your car fully.

    How customers feel about our Car Servicing

    So what’s involved in a 4WD service?

    During a regular service on your 4WD, we’ll change out the engine oil and the oil filter, but there’s a few other things we’ll be looking for.

    • Fluid leaks are a big one, as engine damage can easily occur if your coolant or transmission fluid is low. And as 4WDs are more likely to get up close and personal with mud, water, and dirt roads, we’ll also check the fluid in your front and rear diffs for contamination.
    • Your 4WD mechanic will make sure your U-joints and driveshaft aren’t showing signs of wear or damage, as these send power to the wheels so they’re a pretty big deal if you want your car to go anywhere.
    • We’ll also give your brakes a thorough inspection, ensuring that the lines, discs, and brake pads are up to the challenge of even the most hair-raising descents.
