At Carnegie Automotive, we take genuine pride in delivering both preventive fleet maintenance and complex mechanical repairs across all makes and models of fleet vehicles are done. Our certified mechanics understand that a well-maintained fleet isn’t just about keeping vehicles roadworthy it’s about protecting your business from the disruption and real cost that comes with unexpected breakdowns.
For businesses where every vehicle plays a role in keeping operations on track, the focus is always on minimising time off the road. Repair recommendations are explained clearly, and no additional work is carried out without prior approval making the entire experience straightforward, dependable, and built around what your business actually needs.
What Does Our Fleet Servicing Include?
Our fleet servicing program covers every aspect of your vehicles mechanical health. Here is exactly what we inspect and maintain on every fleet vehicle that comes through our Bentleigh East workshop.
Engine Oil, Filters & Fluid Servicing
Clean fluids and fresh filters are the foundation of a healthy engine. We follow your manufacturer’s recommended intervals to change engine oil and oil filters, replace air filters, and service all critical fluids including brake fluid, steering fluid, transmission fluid, anti-freeze coolant, and power steering fluid. Keeping these at the correct levels extends engine life and reduces the risk of costly mechanical failures across your fleet.
Tyre Inspection, Pressure & Wheel Alignment
Poorly inflated tyres and misaligned wheels quietly drain fuel efficiency and accelerate tyre wear adding unnecessary cost across a fleet over time. Our fleet tyre service checks tyre pressure, inflation, and tread depth on every vehicle. Where wheel alignment is out, we correct it against manufacturer specifications on the spot. Properly maintained tyres save money and keep your drivers safer on Melbourne roads every day.
Brake System & Safety Components
Driver safety is non-negotiable. During every fleet car service, we inspect brake pad thickness, disc condition, and brake line integrity, along with a full clutch system check. We also test all exterior lighting headlamps, tail lights, and indicators as well as windscreens, windows, and wiper blades. If any component is approaching the end of its safe service life, we advise you clearly so you can plan ahead rather than face a roadside failure.
Engine Belt & Battery Inspection
Worn engine belts and failing batteries are two of the most common causes of unexpected fleet vehicle breakdowns. Both give clear warning signs before complete failure — provided someone is looking for them.
Our mechanics inspect all engine and serpentine belts for cracking, fraying, and tension. Every battery is tested for charge health and cold cranking amps. Corroded terminals are cleaned at every service, and batteries showing deterioration are flagged for replacement before they cause a problem on the road.
Full Computerised Diagnostic Scan
Every fleet vehicle receives a full computerised diagnostic scan using our advanced OBD2 equipment. This identifies fault codes and early signs of developing mechanical issues that aren’t always visible during a manual inspection.
It gives us a complete picture of each vehicle’s condition and helps you stay ahead of problems before they turn into expensive repairs or safety concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should fleet vehicles be serviced?
Most fleet vehicles should be serviced every six months or 10,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. Vehicles used in stop-start city driving may require more frequent servicing to maintain reliability and performance.
Will independent fleet servicing affect our vehicles’ manufacturer warranties?
No. Independent fleet servicing does not void your manufacturer warranty when services are completed according to manufacturer specifications using approved parts and fluids. Every service is documented to help maintain your warranty.
What areas around Melbourne do you service fleets from?
We service fleet customers throughout Bentleigh, Carnegie, Ormond, Oakleigh, Murrumbeena, Malvern East, Caulfield, Moorabbin, Hughesdale, and surrounding Melbourne south-eastern suburbs. Pickup and drop-off services are also available for added convenience.
