What we do
Electric and hybrid vehicles still need much of the same care as any other car: tyres, brakes, suspension, cabin filters, wipers and lights. They also rely heavily on their 12 volt battery and electronics, which is exactly our speciality.
Our team looks after electric and hybrid vehicles with the same high level of care and expertise as every other vehicle in the workshop.
Servicing
Manufacturer schedule servicing for electric and hybrid vehicles.
12 volt batteries
The small battery that wakes an EV up, tested and replaced.
Brakes
Regenerative braking means discs can corrode from lack of use. We check and clean them.
Tyres
EV tyres wear faster under heavier weight and instant torque, and are checked at every visit.
Suspension and steering
Heavier vehicles mean more load on bushes and joints.
Air con and filters
Cabin comfort systems serviced for EVs and hybrids.

Questions we get asked
Do electric cars need servicing?
Yes. There is no oil to change, but brakes, tyres, suspension, cabin filters, coolant and the 12 volt system all still need checking.
Why would an electric car need a 12 volt battery?
The 12 volt battery powers the car's computers and wakes the high voltage system. If it fails the car will not start, even with a full main battery.
Will servicing with you affect my EV warranty?
Servicing to the manufacturer's schedule with suitable parts keeps your warranty intact.
Do you service hybrids?
Yes. Hybrids need the engine servicing of a normal car plus checks on the electric side.
