The AMAC Motorcycle Mechanic Workshop with a variety of motorcycles being services.
Motorcycle Service Cairns
Motorcycles are convenient, fuel-efficient and, in our humble opinion, the best form of transport and therapy. It’s essential to take your bike to a motorcycle mechanic workshop you trust for regular servicing to keep you safe on the road. Motorcycle engines are generally highly strung.
A motorcycle faces constant exposure to external elements, with minimal protection from rain, mud, stones or debris. While very economical, they can be higher maintenance than other regular vehicles but you don’t need to fork out a lot at every motorcycle service.
The team at AMAC are frequently asked, ‘how much does it cost to service a motorcycle?’
In this article, we provide a break down of how much does it cost to service a motorcycle, how often should a motorcycle be serviced, and how long does it take. AMAC’S motorcycle services range from basic maintenance such as oil, filter and spark plug changes, to regular logbook and major milestone services.
How Much Does It Cost To Service A Motorcycle?
So, how much does it cost to service a motorcycle? A motorcycle service cost will vary depending on the motorcycle’s condition, model and make, type of service required, and whether or not anything needs replacing.
If you’re looking for a cheap motorbike service workshop – you’re looking in the wrong place. At AMAC, we charge a fair price for the work that we do. We don’t hide behind hidden fees or add-ons. We operate on an up-front pricing system based on the type of service required for your motorcycle. Our team of experienced professionals work off this pricing model. However, where needed, the team will tailor the service’s cost to the individual bike and owner’s requests.

How Often Should A Motorcycle Be Serviced?
Now that we’ve provided a breakdown of our motorcycle mechanic workshop costs for a service, we’ll answer another burning question, ‘how often should a motorcycle be serviced?’.
A motorcycle service frequency will also depend on the make and model of the motorcycle and how often you ride. An enduro motorcycle rider who hits the trails multiple times a week is likely stopping by their local motorcycle mechanic workshop far more frequently than a weekend cruiser, for example.
If you’re handy on the tools, you’ll be able to conduct basic maintenance yourself. Basic maintenance can be as simple as changing the oil or ensuring your chain is tightened. We encourage all motorcycle owners to get to know their bike and the motorcycle’s basic maintenance to ensure it’s running as safely as possible. If you’re performing basic maintenance yourself and aren’t using the bike for heavy-duty riding, one service per year will suffice.
If you’re unsure how often you need to get your particular motorbike serviced, an easy way to figure out how often your motorbike should be getting a service is to refer to the owner’s manual. The owner’s manual will have the manufacturer’s recommendation on how often to service your particular make and model.
As a ball-park estimate, we’d recommend getting your bike serviced at least once a year, or between every 4000 – 6000 km, whichever speeds around faster!
How Long Does A Motorcycle Service Take?
At AMAC, we aim to start and finish a motorcycle service in one day. We understand that many of our customers rely on their motorbikes to ride throughout the week, so we try to get them back to you as soon as possible.
