How much does Mechanics cost in Melbourne? (2026 price guide)

A standard logbook service typically costs $150-$350 depending on vehicle type, while a more thorough major service usually runs $300-$600. Brake pad replacement typically costs $150-$350 per axle, and diagnosing a warning light or unknown fault usually costs $80-$150 for the initial diagnostic before any repair work.

Cost depends on vehicle make and model (European and luxury brands typically cost more for parts and labour), whether genuine or aftermarket parts are used, the scope of the service, and labour rates in different workshops, which typically range from $100-$180 an hour.

Ask for a written quote before work begins, and check whether the workshop uses genuine or quality aftermarket parts, as this affects both price and whether your new-car warranty conditions are maintained.
