Common electric car services
Battery health check
Capacity test, cell balance, internal resistance. Get a printable report critical for buying / selling an EV.
Regen brake service
Brake pads last 3-5x longer on EVs but pads + rotors still need attention every 30,000 km.
12V battery (yes, EVs have one)
EVs use a 12V battery for accessories. They die after 4-5 years just like ICE car batteries. Quick swap.
Tyre rotation
EVs are heavier and accelerate harder — tyres wear faster. Rotate every 7,500 km to extend tyre life.
