Choose Kinnane's Car Clinic - Professional and Fully Trained Technicians for all your Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Servicing in our West Ipswich automotive workshop.

The proliferation of hybrid and electric vehicles on Australian roads is on the rise and as technology and infrastructure advances, the selection of models available is predicted to expand.

Although electric vehicles are less demanding to maintain than those powered by internal combustion engines, they still require routine servicing like any other vehicle.

It is crucial to exercise caution whilst servicing them due to the risk of electrical shock as they operate on high voltages, necessitating specialised PPE, insulated tools, and training.

To ensure that hybrid vehicles operate at peak performance, a combination of standard and specialised maintenance services are necessary. Routine inspections should include brakes, cabin air filters, shock absorbers, and fluid levels, as well as steering and suspension systems. In addition, items such as spark plugs, tyres, wiper blades, lights, air and fuel filters should be checked regularly and replaced when necessary.

Whilst the electric motor components require minimal servicing, it's important to follow the vehicle's maintenance schedule to ensure optimal operation. Finally, it's crucial to assess and replace the 12-volt battery as needed.

To ensure optimal maintenance for your EV, it is important to select a workshop staffed by competent and knowledgeable technicians like Kinnane's Car Clinic who are equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and top-quality replacement parts.
