Electric and Hybrid Car Servicing at CJ Auto
Much like a diesel or petrol car, electric vehicles and hybrids need to be serviced regularly. Electric car maintenance is much simpler than combustion engine vehicles. Unlike a combustion engine, there is no oil to change or filters to renew in an electric car service. There is no cambelt or water pump to replace either. With fewer moving parts for the mechanic to check, EV servicing is easier and more cost-effective.
Though hybrids can be a little trickier to maintain – due to having both electric and fuel combustion components – they often have lower CO2 emissions than conventional cars, which is great for the environment.
Here at CJ Auto Service, our expert mechanics have extensive knowledge of both hybrid and electric vehicles and all the tools and training they need to complete your routine service. You can be confident that you’re in the most capable hands.
Our mechanics are committed to ensuring that your electric or hybrid vehicle remains in peak condition for the most enjoyable and safest driving experience possible, and when you get your electric vehicle serviced with us, we will identify any potential faults that require urgent attention. We’ll also check wires for damage or loose connections, as well as the:
- Battery
- Brakes
- Electric motor
- Lights
- Steering
- Suspension
- Tyres
- Wheels
On top of this, we’ll check the coolant levels. How often this needs topping up or flushing depends on the make and model of your car and should be stated in the manual.
We appreciate that some parts may need to be checked, repaired, and replaced more frequently than others. That’s why we provide hybrid and electric car repairs, as well as minor and major servicing in Warrington.

Boasting over 35 years in car servicing and repairs, it’s no surprise we have car owners from all over Cheshire coming to us with damaged, malfunctioning, or under-performing vehicles.
Petrol and diesel cars have thousands of moving parts, whereas electric vehicles are made up of no more than 20 – meaning they’re unlikely to require much attention.
Electric vehicles still require regular component checks for brakes, tyres, suspension and any other safety features, but there’s no need for things like oil changes.
A technician will also need a diagnostic machine, to help them identify any potential problems. They’ll also need to look over the wires for any loose or damaged connections.
Hybrid-vehicles are sometimes a little trickier to maintain, since they have components of both electric and conventional diesel or petrol cars – so they tend to have the requirements of a traditional service as well as an EV service, all rolled into one.
Hybrid and electric cars need servicing as often as the conventional petrol or diesel cars you might be used to.
It’s a common rule to have any vehicle serviced every 12 months, or every 10-12 thousand miles – whichever comes first – and hybrid and electric vehicles are no different.
However, some parts may need repairing or replacing more than others, so it’s important to keep this in mind.
At CJ Auto Service, we like to make sure your vehicle is in peak condition so that you can have the safest, most enjoyable driving experience possible.
If you’d like to book a service with us, give us a call on 01925 589 066 or email us at reception@cjautoservice.co.uk to get started!
If you’re looking to cut down costs, you’ll be happy to know that with fewer parts needing attention and less labour-intensive work required, you could save a considerable amount of money getting an electric vehicle serviced, as opposed to traditional petrol or diesel vehicles.
Again, hybrid vehicles are more complex, so servicing them can be slightly more expensive.

Most hybrid vehicle manufacturers say battery packs will last between 80,000 to 100,000 miles. Some models might even make it to 150,000 miles and beyond, but this all depends on your driving style.
While there are many theories on how you can make your car battery last longer, like coasting or slow take-offs for example, they haven’t been proven to actually extend battery life.
The best way to maintain your hybrid or electric vehicle’s car battery is to follow the recommendations of the manufacturer and stick to regular servicing. This way you can ensure your battery stays healthy for as long as possible.
There are several tell tale signs that your hybrid or electric vehicle battery is on its way out, including:
Strange engine noises
If your battery is overheating, you’ll notice the constant sound of a running fan – which is bad for the battery and nearby components and will need to be looked at as soon as possible.
Charging problems
Mechanical issues like corrosion, damaged wiring or bent pins can have a detrimental effect on your vehicle’s charging system. If you notice your battery overcharging, undercharging or draining charge much quicker than usual, you should have your battery inspected.
A decrease in fuel economy
If you find yourself making more frequent trips to the petrol station, it could be that the electric power isn’t taking over from your internal combustion engine as often as it should.
This could mean your battery isn’t charging to its full capacity or it’s no longer retaining charge for as long as you would expect.
However your car is powered, with over 35 years of combined experience in the trade, you can be confident your vehicle is in good hands with CJ Auto Service – we’re the ideal team to resolve any mechanical issues.
