Whilst the service centres may be open, in Vic you are only permitted to leave your house for 4 reasons:
  • Seeking medical services or providing care
  • Essential shopping
  • Exercise
  • To work

You run the risk of being fined if you are caught out of your house for a reason outside of those above. I can't see getting a car serviced is in there.
As an essential worker, I need my car in adequate working condition. So a service is a 'essential shopping'

I could instead just run my car into the ground until it breaks down. Then someone might stop to help me when I break down our on the road, then a towie/roadside mechanic will have to come out, then my car will end up at the mechanic to be worked on anyway, then I'll need a rental car for work. How many more social interaction would that entail?
