Do you have to go to a dealership to service or repair your electric vehicle?
Hybrids, plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular. Are you thinking about getting one but feeling a bit reluctant to do so because the people around you have brought up the disadvantages? At Certified Auto Repair, we know that there are still many misconceptions about electric cars. This article dispels the myth that electric vehicles (EVs) must be serviced at dealerships.
Maintenance simplified
Maintaining an electric or hybrid vehicle is easier than you think. For example, fully electric cars don’t require oil changes. If you own an EV, you also don’t have to worry about topping up various fluids or replacing gaskets and other parts like the alternator, fuel pump and exhaust system. In fact, very few parts require servicing other than the brakes, battery, suspension and steering.
Recognized training
Many repair shops are well-equipped to service hybrid and electric vehicles. It’s now common for employees to receive training on inspecting and maintaining these types of cars. In Quebec, several accredited training programs cover basic services like diagnostics and alignment, as well as advanced techniques like battery and electrical system maintenance.
