⚡ Why Choose an Independent Garage for Your EV Service in Lincoln?
By Andrews Car Centre – Trusted EV Servicing in Lincoln
If you drive an electric vehicle (EV), you’ve probably been told you need to return to the main dealer for servicing — especially to keep your warranty intact.
But the truth is:
✅ You don’t have to use a main dealer to service your EV.
✅ You can choose a trusted independent garage – and save money doing it.
At Andrews Car Centre in Lincoln, we offer EV servicing, inspections, and MOTs for most electric vehicles — from the Tesla Model 3 to the Nissan Leaf, MG4, Renault Zoe, e-Transit and more.
Here’s why more EV owners in Lincoln are choosing independent garages like ours for their servicing needs.
🔧 1. We're Fully Equipped for EV Servicing
We’ve invested in:
-
✅ EV-safe ramps and tooling
-
✅ IMI-trained technicians
-
✅ EV system safety checks
-
✅ Diagnostic software for most major EV brands
-
✅ OE-spec parts and EV-compatible fluids
Whether it's a routine inspection or brake service, your EV is in safe hands.
📉 2. Lower Labour Rates Than the Main Dealer
Franchise dealers often charge £120+ per hour for labour — sometimes more for EV-specific work.
At Andrews Car Centre, our labour rate is significantly lower, with transparent pricing and no hidden extras.
We’ll always explain what we’re doing, what’s due, and whether it’s urgent or just advisory.
🧾 3. Keep Your EV Warranty – No Strings Attached
Thanks to Block Exemption regulations, you can have your EV serviced at an independent garage without voiding your manufacturer warranty — as long as:
-
We use OE-spec parts
-
We follow the correct service schedule
-
We record the service history accurately
We do all of that — and give you full documentation, plus digital updates where possible (for Tesla and newer VAG models, for example).
🔋 4. EVs Still Need Servicing – Just Differently
Electric cars don’t need oil changes or spark plugs — but they still need:
-
🛞 Tyre checks & rotations
-
🛠️ Brake system servicing (regenerative braking causes uneven pad wear)
-
💧 Brake fluid replacement
-
🧊 Coolant checks (especially for battery cooling systems)
-
🧪 Cabin filters & suspension checks
-
⚠️ Safety inspections and fault code scans
We tailor each service to your car’s mileage, usage, and manufacturer’s guidelines.
