EV Overview in Chertsey, Surrey

As more drivers across Surrey make the switch to electric power, finding a garage that truly understands the nuances of high-voltage systems is essential. At Oaks Services, we have evolved alongside the industry to become leading electric vehicle specialists.

While many traditional garages might be hesitant to work on battery-powered motors, our EV trained technicians are fully equipped to handle everything from routine software updates to complex drivetrain repairs. Whether you are commuting through Chertsey or driving a high-performance electric car, we provide the technical expertise required to keep your vehicle efficient, safe, and road-legal.

EV Checks

Safety is paramount when dealing with high-voltage batteries and regenerative braking systems. Our electric car checks go far beyond a standard visual inspection. We perform a comprehensive EV health check that assesses the integrity of the high-voltage cables, the condition of the charging port, and the performance of the thermal management system. Unlike internal combustion engines, EVs rely on complex cooling circuits to keep the battery at an optimal temperature; we ensure these systems are functioning perfectly to prevent premature battery degradation and ensure your range remains as high as possible.

EV Maintenance

It is a common myth that electric cars don’t need regular attention because they have fewer moving parts. In reality, electric car maintenance is vital for longevity. Our team focuses on the specific needs of hybrid and electric vehicles, such as inspecting the heavy-duty suspension components that carry the weight of the battery pack and servicing the unique braking systems. Because EVs use regenerative braking, the physical discs and pads can often suffer from corrosion due to under use. Our EV maintenance schedule ensures these critical safety components are cleaned, lubricated, and replaced only when necessary, keeping your running costs low.

EV Inspection

When it comes to electric vehicles servicing and repairs, a detailed EV inspection is the foundation of our work. We follow manufacturer-specific schedules to ensure that your warranty remains intact while offering the personal touch of an independent EV specialist. During an inspection, we look at the high-voltage battery mounting, the condition of the reduction gear oil, and the cabin filtration systems. This proactive approach helps identify minor issues before they become expensive faults, giving you total peace of mind on the road.

EV Diagnostics

Electric vehicles are essentially computers on wheels, which is why we have invested in the latest EV diagnostics technology. If your dashboard displays a warning light or you notice a sudden drop in efficiency, our EV garage uses advanced software to interface with your car’s Battery Management System (BMS). We can pinpoint faults in specific battery cells, charging controllers, or inverter units with pinpoint accuracy. This data-driven approach means we spend less time guessing and more time fixing, ensuring a fast turnaround for all our customers.
