Electric Servicing

Here at Des Winks in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, we offer expert electric and hybrid servicing for Volkswagen and ŠKODA models. With leading-edge tools and manufacturer-trained technicians, your car is in the best hands.

Electric and hybrid servicing

Our team provides tailored care for electric and hybrid vehicles. Whether it's a routine inspection or a more complex repair, we deliver every service with precision, efficiency and transparency.

Electric motor and battery We inspect and maintain your car’s electric motor and high-voltage battery system. This ensures smooth performance, maximum range and long-term reliability with every mile you drive.

Suspension and steering Electric vehicles (EVs) often weigh more than petrol/diesel models. That’s why regular suspension and steering checks are vital for safety, comfort and precise handling.

Tyres EVs deliver instant torque, which can increase tyre wear. Our technicians assess tread depth, pressure and alignment to keep you safe and extend tyre life.

Brakes Electric cars use regenerative braking, which means less wear. Nevertheless, we inspect pads, discs and fluid to ensure braking performance remains strong in all conditions.

Heating and ventilation assessment Your car's climate system impacts battery efficiency and comfort. We inspect heating and cooling to make sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently year-round.

Oil and other fluids EVs use fewer fluids, but critical components still need lubrication and cooling. We check coolant, brake and washer fluids to maintain performance.

Battery maintenance An electrified vehicle’s battery powers key systems such as lights and infotainment. We test its health regularly to prevent unexpected breakdowns or start-up issues.

Types of services

We offer interim, full and major servicing options. Each level is designed to match your vehicle's age, mileage and usage, helping maintain efficiency and value.
