Why Kilcoy trucks need this work
Kilcoy trucks tend to rack up a specific kind of wear: short suburban runs during the week around Woodford, Somerset Dam and Esk, then heavy towing or long highway stints on weekends. That combination shortens effective oil life and loads the cooling system harder than the American service interval assumes, so we stamp the book to schedule but flag anything the interval alone would miss.
What's included
- Premium Penrite oil and an OEM filter to the American factory capacity, not a generic 5-litre fill
- Full brake inspection, including corrosion checks on coastal-driven trucks
- Diff, transfer case and transmission fluid condition assessed against your towing history
- Scan-tool health check with fault codes and DPF regeneration history read
- Logbook stamped so your statutory and manufacturer warranty stays valid

Getting here from Kilcoy
Our workshop is at 46 Regent St, Caloundra — 1 hour from Kilcoy. Most Kilcoy customers drop the truck off in the morning and collect it the same day where the job allows, so logbook servicing doesn't cost you a second trip. If you're coming in from Woodford, Somerset Dam and Esk, call ahead and we'll have the hoist free when you arrive.
Fixed-price minor servicing starts at $469 (1500-series) and $599 (HD-series). All other work — including logbook servicing — is quoted before we start, with no surprises on the invoice.
Frequently asked questions
- Will servicing in Kilcoy void my new-car warranty?
- No. Australian consumer law lets any qualified workshop perform logbook servicing using manufacturer-spec parts and fluids. We stamp the book and record the work exactly as the schedule requires.
- How long does a minor service take if I drive in from Kilcoy?
- We're 1 hour from Kilcoy. Most minor services booked in the morning are finished the same afternoon, so you only make the trip once.
- Do you service American trucks from Kilcoy and the Somerset region?
- Yes — Kilcoy is around an hour via the D'Aguilar Highway, and we regularly see RAM, Silverado, GMC and Ford F-Series trucks from Kilcoy, Woodford, Esk and Somerset Dam.
- Can you fit everything into one trip?
- That's how we book country customers. Send your list when you book and we'll allow time for servicing, diagnostics and inspection in a single visit.
