Have your EV serviced today at Vasstech

There might not be the same moving parts in an electric car as there are in an ICE vehicle, but electric car servicing is still critical for spotting problems early on to prevent more issues further down the road (quite literally). And as the age-old saying goes, prevention is always better than the cure. At Vasstech, we carry out all the regular roadworthiness checks you'd expect, including inspecting your brakes, tyres, mirrors and more, alongside more specialised services like assessing your charging cable and other high-voltage cables for damage and reliability. Also, we'll inspect your battery and recharge if required.

The Vasstech approach to EV servicing

Standard ICE vehicles, hybrid vehicles and electric cars might boast many similarities, after all, they've both got wheels, brakes, tyres and more (which all need checking!), but that being said, there are plenty of differences too. Heres what we do:

Electric car charging

Your charging cable is a crucial component of your electric car, naturally. As such, we ensure a Vasstech electric vehicle specialist will thoroughly assess its condition and efficiency, alongside inspecting other high-voltage cables to confirm they're all undamaged, connected and secure.

Electric car cooling system

Inspecting the cooling system is a standard part of EV servicing, as keeping the battery at its optimum temperature is crucial. Typically, this will entail no more than a visual check of the fluid levels, alongside a top-up if necessary. Simple!

Brake maintenance

EVs use regenerative braking, which means resistance in the motor helps slow the car down to limit brake damage. Despite this, brake pads and discs will still need changing from time to time, and the fluid replaced every two years - both of which our mechanics can sort out in a jiffy.

Suspension and tyres

Due to an electric vehicle's extra weight and instant torque delivery, expect your tyres to deteriorate faster than a conventional car. But don't worry - we'll give them a thorough check so that your wheels are always road-safe and ready to go.

Heating and ventilation system

Your EV's heating and ventilation systems will need an inspection, and upon servicing, the cabin air filter will likely need replacing by our expert team of mechanics. Also, we'll make sure to recharge the refrigerant levels of your air-conditioning system if necessary.

Why keep your electric vehicle well maintained and serviced?

Electric vehicles have been on the market for well over 10 years, but really seen considerable growth in sales during the last 5 years. That means that there are number of vehicles now on the road that are at that stage in their life where regular servicing is becoming more important.

There are a number of reasons why you should be keeping your EV in good condition, whether it’s a Volkswagen group EV or another brand, we can help. Find out all about EVs and whether they’re for you in our electric vehicle buying guide. Here are some reasons to stay on top of your EV maintenance:

Safety

Regular maintenance can help ensure that your EV is safe to drive. It can help identify potential issues before they become major problems that could compromise your safety while driving.

Performance

Maintaining your EV can also help improve its overall performance. Regular maintenance can help ensure that the battery is functioning at its best, that the brakes are in good condition, and that the tyres are properly inflated, all of which can impact the vehicle’s overall performance.

Efficiency

A well-maintained EV can also be more efficient. Properly inflated tyres, balanced and aligned wheels, and a well-maintained battery can all contribute to better efficiency and a higher range, which can save you money in the long run.

Longevity

Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your EV. By identifying and addressing issues early on, you can help prevent major problems that could shorten the lifespan of your vehicle.

Resale value

Finally, keeping your EV well-maintained can help maintain its resale value. A vehicle that has been well taken care of is generally more attractive to potential buyers and can command a higher price than one that has been neglected.
