Electric car servicing
Yes it can be quite confusing because if you have bought a new electric vehicle from a franchised car dealer they will continually try to get you to service your electric vehicle with them.
Because it is not widely known who can service your electric vehicle using the car dealer seems the simple choice. Because a warranty may be protected by having your car serviced you may feel obliged to use the garage who sold you the electric vehicle.
But what happens after the warranty has run out, where do you go for your electric car servicing?
The answer is you can use a specialist local independent garage with trained electric car mechanics like us at Clinton Garage in Kenilworth.
Even though we are based in Kenilworth, Warwickshire we welcome customers from all over the Midlands like Coventry, Warwick and Birmingham.
What is done in an electric car service?
Howver electric cars are a bit easier to service because of their motor system. An electric car a bit mote simpler battery battery and motor system.
The combustion engine has gears, belts, valves and parts that move which makes it a lot more complicated than equivalent electric cars.
Regular car servicing is important in keeping it running to its optimum. If car servicing timings are ignored means an electric cars system may be more prone to failing.
So rather than saving money on the electric car service it may well cost more in repairs.
You need to remember an electric cars service covers safety issues so ignoring the schedule will put this in danger.
