If you’re searching for a reliable log book service in Gateshead, it’s important to choose a workshop that follows your manufacturer’s specifications while providing honest, professional care. At Gerry Wubbels Automotive, we carry out log book servicing to exact manufacturer standards, helping you protect your new car warranty and keep your vehicle running safely and efficiently.

Many drivers believe they must return to the dealership for log book servicing to maintain their warranty — but this isn’t the case. As a qualified, professional workshop, we can service your vehicle according to the manufacturer’s schedule using quality parts and correct procedures, ensuring your warranty remains intact.

A log book service is a scheduled service outlined by your vehicle’s manufacturer. It specifies exactly what needs to be inspected, adjusted, replaced or tested at certain kilometre or time intervals.

Unlike a basic oil change, a log book service is tailored specifically to your make and model. It ensures your vehicle continues to perform as designed and helps prevent long-term mechanical issues.

No, provided your vehicle is serviced according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. At our Gateshead workshop:

Does Log Book Servicing Void My Warranty?

We follow your manufacturer’s service schedule

We use quality parts that meet required standards

We complete all necessary checks and updates

This means you can choose a trusted local mechanic instead of returning to a dealership, without compromising your warranty.

While inclusions vary depending on your vehicle and service interval, a typical log book service may include:

Inspection of brakes, suspension and steering components

Safety inspection of lights, belts and hoses

Every service is completed according to your vehicle manufacturer’s exact requirements.

Staying up to date with your scheduled servicing helps:

Detect minor issues before they become costly repairs

Skipping services can lead to premature wear, reduced performance, and expensive mechanical problems down the track.

Choosing a local workshop means personalised service, clear communication, and technicians who genuinely care about your vehicle. Gerry Wubbels Automotive proudly services drivers in Gateshead and surrounding suburbs, delivering professional workmanship and attention to detail on every vehicle we see.

Does your car rock and roll when you corner? Not stopping the way it used to? A Safe-T-Stop test will soon sort out your braking issues.

Your car's braking and suspension play a vital part in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. Here at Gerry Wubbels Automotive in Gateshead we take your safety very seriously. This is why we have invested in a state of the art Safe-T-Stop testing machine and we are an approved Safe-T-Stop Testing Centre.

Your family's safety can be trusted with a Safe-T-Stop test. It provides an added safety inspection that goes well beyond a standard check and road test to scientifically test your braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance.

A Safe-T-Stop test is carried out on the electronically accurate PlateTronic test equipment. Safe-T-Stop test lanes measure and simulate a vehicle's brake performance in real-life conditions, exactly as it would happen in an emergency stop on the road!

Along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your vehicle will stop straight and in the shortest possible distance in an emergency, having your braking and suspension system in peak operating condition actually saves you money by minimising tyre wear and tyre drag which can increase fuel consumption.

A Safe-T-Stop check will give you a precise and detailed printed report that will enable the qualified technicians at Gerry Wubbels Automotive to advise you on any critical adjustments that should be made.

Book your Safe-T-Stop test online or call Gerry Wubbels Automotive today.

The essential component that often doesn’t get the credit it deserves, despite playing an important role in the vehicle’s performance and longevity, is your vehicle's cooling system. 

At Gerry Wubbels Automotive, located right in the heart of Gateshead, we have a profound understanding of this system's importance and want to ensure that every vehicle owner has the knowledge to prevent avoidable issues and expenses.

The cooling system in a vehicle is a key component of the overall mechanical function. Its primary role is to regulate the engine's temperature, ensuring it does not overheat while operating. Without a well-functioning cooling system, the engine would soon become too hot, potentially causing significant damage and possibly leading to an expensive breakdown.

The system operates through a regulated process of heat exchange, with coolant being circulated around the engine, absorbing excess heat, and then moving to the radiator. At the radiator, the heat is expelled to the surrounding air, and the cooled coolant is sent back to continue the process.

Ensuring this system is performing at its optimal capacity is not something to take lightly. It requires regular checks performed by professional mechanics. Neglecting the cooling system can lead to engine failure, and nobody wants to be stuck on the roadside with an overheated vehicle.

The need for an expert touch is precisely why many vehicle owners in Gateshead choose Gerry Wubbels Automotive. With years of expertise in managing vehicle cooling systems, we've earned our reputation as the go-to professionals for all things relating to your car’s temperature management.

Some warning signs to watch for indicating potential issues with your cooling system include:

As your leading experts in Gateshead, Gerry Wubbels Automotive provides a range of services aimed at preventing these problems. From regular inspections of the cooling system to radiator check-ups and repairs, to coolant replacement, we offer comprehensive solutions designed to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely.

Our commitment to quality extends to the use of only the best products for your vehicle. As an authorised Repco Service Centre, we offer the added benefit of the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty. That's additional peace of mind for our customers, guaranteeing the parts we use and our labor for 12 months or 20,000 kilometers.

With Gerry Wubbels Automotive, you don't just get quality; you get an unbeatable service that keeps your vehicle's cooling system at its optimal best. If you’re in Gateshead, and your car’s performance matters to you, make sure to come by our workshop, where quality meets experience for unparalleled vehicle care.
