Electric Vehicle Servicing in Manchester

Not safely, no. EV high-voltage systems require specific training and equipment. Working on them without proper qualifications is a genuine safety risk. Our technicians hold IMI qualifications covering EV work specifically — this is the standard the industry uses to define safe, competent EV servicing. When choosing a garage for your EV, it's worth asking whether the technicians are IMI qualified for electric vehicle work.

Yes. Electric vehicles are subject to the same MOT requirements as petrol and diesel cars from three years old, with some differences — exhaust emissions testing doesn't apply, for example. We carry out MOT testing for electric vehicles at our Walkden centre.

EVs have fewer moving parts than conventional vehicles, so some service intervals are longer. But brakes, tyres, suspension, steering, and safety systems all need regular inspection. Your manufacturer's handbook sets the specific schedule for your vehicle. If you're unsure, call us and we'll advise based on your make, model, and mileage.

We check the battery management system, assess the state of charge and the level of degradation over time, and review the cell balance across the battery pack. If the battery is losing range faster than expected, or if a warning light has appeared, a diagnostic inspection tells you what's actually happening rather than leaving you guessing.

Yes. All components fitted during EV servicing or repairs carry our standard 3-year parts warranty. If a part fails within three years of fitting, we replace it. Labour is not covered by the warranty — we explain this to every customer before any work starts.
