EVs Need Maintenance Too
No oil changes, but EVs still need brake service, tyre care, cabin filters, and battery health checks. We handle EV-specific maintenance.
EV Maintenance Matters
EVs don’t need oil changes, but they’re not maintenance-free. Proper EV maintenance keeps them running smoothly and preserves resale value. EVs use regenerative braking, meaning brake components wear more slowly. However, brakes still require inspection and servicing to keep your vehicle safe and efficient.
What We Service
Brake System
-
EV Brakes Wear Slowly
( Regenerative braking does most of the work. ) -
When Pads Need Service
( We check wear and replace when needed.) -
Fluid Service
( Brake fluid still needs periodic replacement.) - Regenerative braking does most of the work.
- Brake fluid still needs periodic replacement.
- We check wear and replace when needed.
Tyre & Suspension
Tyre rotation and wheel alignment – EVs are heavier, so tyres wear unevenly. Suspension inspection – shocks, springs, dampers.

What an EV Service Covers
Electric cars have fewer moving parts, but they are heavier and deliver
instant torque, which is hard on tyres and suspension. Because regenerative
braking does most of the stopping, the brake discs and calipers are used less
and can corrode or seize if they are never checked.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should an electric car be serviced?
Follow the manufacturer’s schedule for your model – for most EVs that is
every one to two years.
Do EVs need an NCT?
Yes. Electric cars are tested on the same schedule as other cars. We can
check the car before its test.
Why do EVs wear tyres faster?
Extra weight and instant torque. Correct pressures, regular rotation and good
alignment make a real difference to tyre life and to range.
Will servicing with you keep my warranty valid?
Yes, provided the service follows the manufacturer’s schedule and parts of
matching quality are used. We record the work for your service history.
