Frequently asked questions
-
What is the cost an EV service?
Maintaining electric vehicles can be cost-effective compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. EVs have fewer moving parts and require less frequent servicing, leading to lower maintenance costs. Purchasing an EV can result in significant long-term savings due to reduced maintenance and fuel costs. At Bridgestone, we offer transparent pricing for all EV services, ensuring you receive the highest quality of service at competitive rates. -
What is the cost of a hybrid or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle servicing?
Maintaining a hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) is generally like a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, as hybrids and PHEVs have both an internal combustion engine and an electric drive mechanism. The cost of service will vary depending on the vehicle's make, model, and specific maintenance needs, like battery health checks or electric drive system inspections. At Bridgestone, we offer transparent pricing on all hybrid and PHEV services, ensuring you receive high-quality care at competitive rates, with the potential for long-term savings on maintenance and fuel. -
How often do EVs need servicing?
EVs generally require less frequent servicing than traditional vehicles due to fewer moving parts. However, regular check-ups are recommended, often annually, to ensure optimal battery health, performance, and overall safety. The recommended service frequency will vary by manufacturer. -
Is EV servicing more expensive than servicing a traditional internal combustion engine?
EV servicing can be more cost-effective than traditional vehicles since EVs have fewer parts prone to wear and don’t require engine and driveline oil changes. However, specialised checks for the battery and electrical systems may add cost. In the long run, EV owners often experience lower maintenance expenses due to these streamlined needs.
