Servicing for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
EVs and hybrids have fewer moving parts than a combustion engine, but they still need regular servicing. We check the high-voltage battery, cooling and charging systems, brakes, tyres, suspension and the 12V system, keeping everything to your manufacturer’s schedule so your warranty stays protected.Why EV Brakes Need Special Attention
Electric and hybrid vehicles use regenerative braking, which means the conventional brakes are used less often. We inspect and maintain hybrid and EV braking systems to keep them working properly and safely.Diagnostics and Repairs
From warning lights to charging faults, our technicians use the right equipment to diagnose electric and hybrid issues accurately. If a fault needs fixing, we can carry out the repairs and diagnostics safely in the same place.EV & Hybrid FAQs
Do electric and hybrid cars still need servicing?
Yes. EVs and hybrids have fewer moving parts, but they still need regular servicing of the brakes, tyres, suspension, cooling and charging systems, 12V battery and high-voltage battery health. Keeping to the manufacturer’s schedule also protects your warranty.
Are your technicians qualified to work on high-voltage systems?
Yes. Our technicians are trained and certified to work safely on the high-voltage systems used in electric and hybrid vehicles, using the correct equipment and procedures throughout.
Why do EV and hybrid brakes need special attention?
Regenerative braking means the conventional brakes are used less, which can cause discs and callipers to seize or corrode through underuse. We inspect and maintain hybrid and EV braking systems specifically to prevent this.
Can you service my EV without affecting the warranty?
Yes. We service electric and hybrid vehicles to manufacturer standards and schedules, so your warranty stays intact. You do not have to use a main dealer to keep your warranty valid.
Can you MOT an electric or hybrid car?
Yes. We offer MOTs for hybrid and electric vehicles, carried out safely by technicians trained to work around high-voltage systems.
