Who Services Chinese Cars in Melbourne’s South-East?
BYD, GWM, MG, Chery, LDV and KGM are now everywhere in the south-east — their service networks are not. Australian Consumer Law lets a qualified independent workshop service them with warranty cover preserved, and that is exactly what we do: correct schedules, correct parts, logbook stamped, prices fixed in writing first.

The dealer network was not built for these brands’ growth
BYD, GWM Haval, MG, Chery and LDV have gone from curiosities to some of the most common new cars in Melbourne’s south-east in barely three years — but their service networks are still catching up. Owners in Cranbourne, Clyde North and Officer regularly face a long drive and a longer wait for a booking, for servicing that is, underneath the badge, conventional workshop work.
You are allowed to service them independently
Australian Consumer Law protects your right to have any new car — including a BYD, GWM, MG, Chery or LDV — serviced by a qualified independent workshop. Done to the manufacturer’s schedule with appropriate-quality parts, your warranty cover is preserved — damage caused by incorrect servicing or wrong parts is the exception, which is why correct servicing is the whole job. We stamp the logbook, reset the service reminders correctly, and keep the records that prove compliance.
What these cars actually need
The patterns are consistent and manageable: dual-clutch and CVT transmissions that must have real fluid changes, small turbos that reward strict oil intervals, DPFs on the diesels that need managing on short-trip duty, 12-volt batteries doing more work than owners expect on the EVs and hybrids, and software updates that genuinely change how the cars behave. Our guides cover the specifics per model, and every service ends with a written report.
What it costs, in writing, first
Chinese-brand logbook servicing at $299 incl. GST — petrol, diesel and PHEV alike — EV servicing a flat $400, and fault-finding as a $374 incl. GST pre-paid diagnostic with a written report. Every price is fixed in writing before work starts, and loan cars are available first-in with your booking.
