VW Electric & Hybrid Care - Green & Gleaming
Understanding the nuances of these sophisticated machines and the importance of regular servicing can be challenging, but that's where we come in. Our goal is to simplify the process, make it more accessible, and provide top-quality services that ensure your vehicle runs smoothly and efficiently for years to come.
As technology advances, so too does the complexity and capabilities of our vehicles. Electric and hybrid models are the latest evolution, offering unprecedented fuel efficiency, eco-friendly performance, and powerful, smooth driving experiences. Yet, the state-of-the-art technology that powers these vehicles necessitates specialised care and services to maintain optimal functionality. That's why we've invested in creating an unparalleled service infrastructure for your Volkswagen electric and hybrid vehicles.
Basic Components of Electric & Hybrid Vehicles
Electric and hybrid vehicles are composed of unique components that differentiate them from traditional combustion engine cars. These include the electric motor, the high voltage battery, an inverter that converts DC power to AC for the motor, and a sophisticated control system that manages energy flow. For hybrid vehicles, there's also a conventional engine that works in synergy with the electric components.
Servicing Your Volkswagen Electric & Hybrid Vehicle
Maintaining your Volkswagen electric or hybrid vehicle involves a blend of traditional car servicing and specialised procedures unique to these vehicles. Regular servicing ensures your vehicle remains efficient, safe, and enjoyable to drive.
Unlike conventional cars, the servicing needs of electric and hybrid vehicles are heavily centred on their electrical components. However, this doesn't mean you should overlook regular maintenance procedures such as oil changes (for hybrids), tire rotations, and brake inspections. Balancing the two aspects of your vehicle's care is crucial to its longevity and performance.
Our Electric & Hybrid Services
At Volkswagen, we offer a wide range of electric and hybrid-specific services administered by our expert team of skilled technicians. They are well-versed in the latest techniques and have extensive experience with Volkswagen electric and hybrid models.
Battery Health Checks
The heart of every electric or hybrid vehicle is its battery. Regular battery health checks are essential to assess the battery's state of charge, degradation, and overall performance. These checks help ensure your battery is running at its best and can reveal any potential issues before they become significant problems.
Electric & Hybrid-Specific Diagnostics
With our state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and software, we thoroughly inspect your vehicle's electric and hybrid systems. This includes checking for any electrical faults, testing the performance of the motor, and examining the condition of the high-voltage cables and connections. This comprehensive assessment ensures your vehicle's electrical systems are operating as they should and helps prevent potential issues down the line.
Standard Maintenance Services
Even with their unique components, electric and hybrid vehicles still share many features with conventional cars. Regular maintenance services such as brake servicing, tire inspection, and replacement are equally important.
Brake Servicing
In electric and hybrid vehicles, the braking system serves a dual function—stopping the vehicle and regenerating energy during deceleration. Our comprehensive brake services include checking the brake pads, rotors, and fluid and assessing the performance of the regenerative braking system.
Tire Inspection and Replacement
Proper tire maintenance is crucial for optimal vehicle performance and safety. Our services include tire inspections to check for wear and damage, rotations to ensure even wear, replacements when necessary, and alignments to keep your vehicle handling correctly.
Specialized Electric & Hybrid Services
As well as the standard maintenance services, we offer specialised services tailored specifically to the needs of electric and hybrid vehicles.
High Voltage Battery Maintenance
The high-voltage battery in your vehicle requires regular maintenance to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Our skilled technicians conduct comprehensive checks, cleaning and checking connections, the state of charge, and assessing overall battery health.
Motor and Inverter Inspection
The motor and inverter are critical components in your electric or hybrid vehicle. Our service includes a detailed inspection to ensure they function correctly, efficiently converting battery power into propulsion.
Coolant System Services for Battery and Electronics
The coolant system is essential for maintaining optimal operating temperatures for your vehicle's battery and electronics. Our specialised service ensures this crucial system functions correctly, preventing overheating and potential damage.
