Specialist EV Repairs – What We Cover

Electric vehicles require specialized repairs due to their complex electrical systems, regenerative braking, and battery-powered drivetrain. Unlike petrol or diesel cars, traditional garages may not have the expertise to repair EV-specific issues.

At Andrews Car Centre, we provide expert brake repairs, suspension fixes, and advanced diagnostics for electric and hybrid vehicles.

EV Brake Repairs & Regenerative Braking Issues

EVs use regenerative braking, which reduces wear on brake pads but also causes unique problems:

Common EV Brake Issues:

• Seized brake calipers due to lack of friction use.
• Rust and corrosion from minimal traditional braking.
• Regenerative braking failure affecting stopping distance.
• Unresponsive brake pedal due to software or hydraulic issues.

Our EV Brake Repair Service Includes:

• Brake strip, clean & lubrication – preventing seizing.
• Disc & pad replacements – when wear is detected.
• Brake fluid checks & top-ups – maintaining hydraulic efficiency.
• Regenerative braking diagnostics– fixing electronic faults.

If you experience braking issues, noises, or warning lights, book your EV brake repair service today.

EV Suspension Repairs

Electric vehicles are heavier than traditional cars due to their large batteries. This puts extra strain on suspension components, leading to premature wear.

Common EV Suspension Problems:

• Worn-out shock absorbers affecting ride quality.
• Damaged control arms & bushings from extra vehicle weight.
• Uneven tyre wear due to alignment issues.
• Knocking or clunking noises when driving over bumps.

Our EV Suspension Repair Service Includes:

• Shock absorber replacements – improving comfort and handling.
• Control arm & bushing repairs – ensuring stability.
• Wheel alignment & tracking – reducing tyre wear.
• Full suspension system inspection – identifying issues early.

EV Diagnostics & Electrical Repairs

EVs rely on advanced software and electrical components to operate efficiently. If you notice warning lights, charging issues, or performance drops, you need specialist diagnostics.

Common EV Diagnostic Issue:

• Battery management system (BMS) faults.
• Charging system failures – car not charging correctly.
• Software glitches causing performance loss.
