Electric Vehicle Service & Repair

Electric vehicle (EV) service and repair involves maintaining and fixing the key components unique to EVs, such as the battery, charging system, and electric motor. While EVs generally require less maintenance than traditional cars, regular checks on battery health, tire condition, brake pads (due to regenerative braking), and software updates are essential.

Repairs may be needed if there are issues with charging, battery degradation, or electrical components. With fewer moving parts and no oil changes, EVs tend to have lower service costs, but proper care and timely service keep your vehicle running at its best for longer.

Benefits of Electric Vehicles

Our technicians can keep your Electric Vehicle functioning to the best of its potential by regular servicing and maintaining your EV. Some of the top benefits of owning an EV are

  • Environmentally Friendly: EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them much cleaner for the environment unlike their counterpart – the gasoline-powered cars. This helps reduce air pollution, improve air quality, and lower your carbon footprint.
  • Lower Operating Costs: Electric vehicles are generally cheaper to maintain and operate than conventional vehicles. With fewer moving parts, EVs require less frequent maintenance, and electricity is typically cheaper than gasoline, reducing your overall fueling costs.
  • Quiet and Smooth Ride: Electric vehicles are much quieter than gasoline-powered cars, leading to a more peaceful driving experience. EVs also provide smooth acceleration without the jolts or vibrations often associated with combustion engines.
  • Reduced Dependence on Fossil Fuels: EVs help stop the need for fossil fuels, contributing to a more sustainable energy future. EVs become even cleaner and greener over time and it seems they just keep getting better and better.
  • Convenience of Charging at Home: With an EV, you can charge your car overnight at home using a standard outlet or a level 2 charging station, so you don’t have to make trips to the gas station.
  • Improved Performance: Electric vehicles offer excellent torque and acceleration, often providing a quicker and more responsive driving experience. Many EVs deliver faster acceleration than traditional cars, making them fun to drive.
  • Long-Term Savings: While you may be spending more in the initial purchase, the long-term savings are something to get excited about. With the simpler design and fewer moving parts, you’ll spend far less time in the shop and less time at the gas station.

FAQ

What maintenance does an electric vehicle require?
Worried about the time you will spend at the shop? As much as our technicians like to see you – you’ll spend less time with us because EVs actually require less maintenance than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles because they have fewer moving parts.
How often do I need to service my electric vehicle?
EVs generally need less time with one of our technicians in the shop than traditional vehicles. We recommend following the manufacturer’s schedule for things like tire rotations, brake checks, and air filter replacements. Battery health checks should also be done periodically, especially as your EV ages.
Do electric vehicles need oil changes?
No, EVs do not require oil changes like traditional vehicles because they don’t have an internal combustion engine.
How do I help maintain my EV's battery health?
To maintain your EV battery’s health, try to keep it between 20% and 80% charged rather than fully charging or draining it. Avoid exposing the car to extreme temperatures, and use a level 2 charger for more efficient charging. Some manufacturers also recommend periodically running the battery through a full charge cycle. Our technicians can help walk you through different options for improving the longevity of your battery.
