A Mechanic Servicing Electric Vehicle

Electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity as more drivers look for cleaner, more cost-effective ways to travel. With improved range, more affordable models and lower running costs, EVs are becoming a practical choice for everyday driving.

However, just like petrol and diesel cars, electric cars still need regular servicing. Professional electric car servicing helps keep your EV safe, efficient and performing at its best, while also identifying potential issues before they become costly repairs.

As more manufacturers introduce electric models, more drivers are making the switch to EVs. Their lower environmental impact, reduced running costs and exemption from some urban congestion charges make them an attractive alternative to traditional petrol and diesel vehicles.

FAQs

How much does an Electric Vehicle Service cost?​

We need to provide you with a quote tailored to your vehicle because the manufacturer’s service schedule varies depending on the age, model, and mileage of your vehicle.

Our EV service is backed by a 12-month or 12,000-mile guarantee, and if you have a warranty, it is honoured. Because our parts and labour are as effective but more competitively sourced, we can be much less expensive than a dealership

Do electric vehicles need regular servicing?

Yes. Although EVs have fewer moving parts and require fewer fluid changes than petrol or diesel vehicles, regular servicing helps identify issues early and can prevent costly repairs later.

Do EV brakes and tyres wear differently?

Yes. Electric vehicles can have different wear rates for brakes and tyres compared with petrol and diesel vehicles, so regular checks by trained technicians are important.

Why is air conditioning important in an electric vehicle?

In some EVs, the air conditioning system helps keep the battery at the correct temperature, which can support efficiency, performance and long-term battery health.

How often should I service my electric car?

Your vehicle owner’s manual will confirm when your EV service is due and the recommended interval between services. D&G Autocare can service your EV in line with the manufacturer’s schedule.

What maintenance does an EV need?

EVs do not require engine oil changes, but they may still need checks on brakes, tyres, filters, cooling systems, air conditioning and other key components.
