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.

If, on the other hand, you could combine the dropping of the car off to the place of service whilst you were doing one of the above activities, that would be ok. Or see if the service centre will pick the car up from your place, as others have highlighted some places are doing.

Personally, I wouldn't risk getting fined of up to $1,652 just to get my car serviced.
And there's the rub. The Feds are trying to keep people working and in business and the states are saying stay home (don't go shopping and let people go broke?)

I don't know of anyone who has been stopped just to ask where they're going.
