This can result in less required maintenance. However, electric vehicles (EVs) do have very complex electrical components that can still go wrong.
When you bring your electric car to us for a service, we will check all of the usual aspects you'd expect on a conventional vehicle, such as lights, brakes and tyre condition. An electric vehicle will not need things like oil changes, spark plugs or air filters, but it is still vital that areas such as the battery, tyres, brake pads & discs, micro filters and fluids are checked and maintained.
An electric car service will need to be undertaken at specific intervals as with a regular combustion engine vehicle. However, the actual service may not take as long as it would in a regular vehicle, due to fewer moving parts.
Our EV technicians are IMI Level 4 qualified and we are a HEVRA member garage, so anything the service turns up can be diagnosed and repaired here.
For more information, or to book your electric car service in Lincoln, please fill out the enquiry form below, or contact us on 01522 535840.
Areas that are checked during your electric car service are as follows:
There is less to service on an electric car than on a petrol or diesel one, but the parts that are left work harder. This is where we look, and why.
The battery pack, electric motor and high-voltage cabling are checked at every service. There is far less to maintain than on an engine, but these are the parts that matter most.
Regenerative braking means the pads and discs do less work, so they last longer but are more likely to corrode. We check pads, discs and brake fluid.
Electric cars are heavy and deliver their power instantly, so tyres and suspension parts can wear faster than you might expect.
No engine oil, but the micro filter and fluids still need checking, and replacing when the manufacturer's schedule says so.
Lights and the other everyday checks you would expect on a conventional car.
You get a video of what we find, sent to your phone, so you can see anything that needs attention and approve work online.
Follow the manufacturer's schedule for your car. Commonly, we see EV services at every 18,000 miles or every 2 years, but it varies by make and model. Enter your registration in the booking tool to see what is due and what it costs.
You do not have to use a main dealer to keep your warranty. Under the Block Exemption rules your warranty stays valid as long as the car is serviced to the manufacturer's schedule, which is what we do, using genuine or original specification parts.
Worried about range? We can also carry out a high-voltage battery health check and give you a state-of-health report.
Here's how we diagnosed and repaired an MG5 EV that was not charging.
Our customer had been experiencing difficulties charging their 2021 MG 5 EV. This issue had rendered the vehicle unusable - an electric car without the ability to charge is essentially stranded. Recognising the need for an EV specialist, the customer brought their vehicle to us for a thorough diagnostic check and repair.

Hybrid and electric vehicles run at voltages that are dangerous to work on without the right training and equipment. Our EV technicians are IMI Level 4 qualified in the diagnosis, testing and repair of electric and hybrid vehicles. That is the level for fault-finding and repair on the high-voltage system itself, not just routine maintenance around it.
We are also a member of HEVRA, the Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Repair Alliance. HEVRA checks that its member garages have the right qualifications, tools and equipment to service and repair electric and hybrid vehicles.
We service most makes of electric car, and hybrids too. These are the ones we see most often.
If your make is not listed, call us on 01522 535840.

We recommend following the manufacturer's guidance on this. Commonly, we see EV services at every 18,000 miles or every 2 years. For a quote, please put your reg into our booking tool and see available options. Alternatively, if you are unsure, please get in touch with our service team on 01522 535840.
Electric vehicles do not require traditional oil changes, as they lack internal combustion engines. We will however check the lubricants during your service.
Generally, EVs have lower servicing costs due to fewer moving parts. However, some components, like tyres, may wear out more quickly due to the vehicle's weight and instant torque. We offer competitive pricing tailored to your EV's make and model - please get in touch with our service team for a bespoke quote on 01522 535840.
Yes, our technicians are trained to service a wide range of electric vehicle brands. We use manufacturer-approved tools and genuine or OEM parts to ensure quality service.
No. Under the Block Exemption rules you do not have to use a franchised dealer to keep your warranty valid, as long as the vehicle is serviced to the manufacturer's schedule. We follow that schedule and use genuine or original specification parts.
Yes. Our EV technicians are IMI Level 4 qualified in the diagnosis, testing and repair of electric and hybrid vehicles, and we are a member of HEVRA, the Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Repair Alliance.
Yes. We carry out high-voltage battery diagnostics and give you a state-of-health report. It is worth doing if your range has dropped, or before buying or selling a used electric car.
Yes. An electric car needs its first MOT at three years old and then every year, the same as a petrol or diesel car. There is no emissions test, but brakes, tyres, suspension, steering and lights are all checked.
Yes. We service and repair full hybrids, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids. A hybrid still needs its engine servicing, and we check the high-voltage system at the same visit.
