Logbook Servicing

Your vehicle is the lifeblood of your business; when it’s off the road, your business grinds to a halt. When buying a new vehicle, a warranty is an important safeguard against unforeseeable problems with your new investment.

To maintain your new vehicle’s warranty, it’s required to have your vehicle undergo regular logbook services. While many think these logbook services must be done by the manufacturer’s service department, a reputable workshop like KADS Truck ‘N’ Diesel can perform logbook services and save yourself the trip back to the dealership.

We can conduct logbook services on a wide range of vehicles, including heavy trucks and trailers, light commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Contact us today to make a booking for your vehicle.
