More than just an oil and filter change

A service with mycar is more than just an oil change. We will, of course, drain your old oil, fit a new premium filter and fill your engine with fresh, top quality oil, but that’s just the start. We'll also perform a full safety check on your vehicle and let you know if there's anything that needs attention. Our Essential Plus package also includes extras such as an electronic scan of your engine, and a year’s worth of complimentary roadside assistance.

How much does an oil change cost in Melbourne

Servicing can cost anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars to over a thousand depending on the type of vehicle you own.

At mycar servicing prices start from as low as $229 with premium packages also available starting at $289. Of course, we also offer oil changes as a standalone service, but as oil changes roll around as frequently as car servicing, it makes sense to have it all done at once.
