EV & Hybrid Servicing

Overview

Electric vehicles and hybrids are no longer rare on the Coast, but a lot of workshops still aren't set up to service them properly. Working safely on a high-voltage system requires specific training, specific gloves and tools, and an understanding of when the system needs to be isolated. We have all of that.

We service the EV and hybrid models you actually see on Kiwi roads — Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Toyota RAV4 hybrid, Hyundai Kona EV, MG ZS EV, BYD Atto 3 — plus the conventional hybrids that have been around for years. EVs still want tyres rotated, brake fluid flushed, suspension checked and coolant looked after. We do all of that, plus the EV-specific items like battery cooling system service and high-voltage system diagnostics.

What we cover

• EV and hybrid scheduled servicing to manufacturer spec
• High-voltage battery cooling system service
• 12V auxiliary battery testing and replacement
• Brake fluid flush — same job as a petrol car
• Tyre rotation, alignment and tyre supply
• Suspension and steering inspection and repair
• Diagnostic scan for traction battery, motor and inverter codes
• Cabin air filter and a/c regas

Get your EV or hybrid in if…

• It's due for a scheduled service per the owner's manual
• Range has noticeably dropped
• Warning lights — especially turtle / power-reduced mode
• Regenerative braking feels different or weaker
• Cabin a/c struggling — important for battery cooling too
• Charging behaviour has changed or slowed

Our approach

EV-trained tech, isolation procedures followed before any work near HV components, scan of all the relevant modules, and a service done to the manufacturer's schedule. We log everything against your service history.

Why us, here in Kapiti

We invested in the training and the gear because EVs are the future, and we want to look after the ones already on the Coast. Your warranty is safe — we follow the manufacturer schedule and document everything.
