What types of electric car do we service?
We are authorised repairers for all Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Lexus electric and hybrid vehicles currently available in Australia. Rigorous training and a commitment to safety ensures your vehicle is in the safest hands.
Our servicing team can repair all types of electric and hybrid cars on the market:
- Plug-in electric cars that run entirely on electricity, and re-charge when they are plugged in to an EV charging station;
- Plug-in hybrid cars (PHEVs), which also feature a traditional petrol or diesel engine as a back-up;
- Hybrid electric vehicles, which run predominantly on petrol or diesel, but also feature an electric battery and enable drivers to easily switch between the two modes.
Differences in smash repairs and servicing for electric vehicle and ICE cars
We are leaders in the Sydney electric smash repair space, and are able to meet the need of EV owners in all areas of car repair, and are trained to work on all makes and model of electric car, hybrid vehicle and high-end internal combustion engine (ICE) cars.
Our car repair team have undertaken extensive additional training and upskilling so that we can better meet the needs of the diverse range of vehicles currently on the road in Sydney, including the rapidly growing number of electric cars.
Learning and adapting new skills has been essential because hybrid and EVs present unique challenges when it comes to smash repairs, and not all mechanics and service teams have the know how, capabilities, equipment or machinery to undertake this essential work.
Dent removal and electric car body repairs
One of the key areas in which we have developed specialist skills in order to meet the needs of the growing number of electric cars being driven in Sydney is dent removal.
We employ a range of new techniques in the delivery of this important service, made necessary because the bodywork and panels of electric vehicles are typically made from much lighter materials than those of ICE vehicles, such as aluminium, ultra-high-strength steel, composites and carbon fibre.
Respraying a car after dent repairs or other panel beating work on electric vehicles needs to be performed under different conditions than an ICE car. If not done properly, it can impact both battery life and efficiency.
Paintless dent removal
Not all dent removal is a big job, but it is important that minor scrapes, scratches and dents on the bodywork of your electric car are dealt with before they can lead to more serious damage.
We are specialists in paintless dent removal (PDR), a less invasive from of dent repair that is nevertheless highly effective, efficient and achieves quick results. Our techniques also maintain the integrity of the original paint, while providing further protection against corrosion of the underlying metal substrate.
Hybrid electronic diagnostics
Our workshop is fully equipped with the latest dealer diagnostic scan tools, which enables us to explore and discover underlying electronic faults in hybrid and electric cars during the smash repair process.
Why do I need a specialist electric vehicle repair service?
If you already drive, or are contemplating buying, an EV car, then you should be aware that electric cars and dealing with electric car faults require the services of a repairer specifically trained and certified in working on this type of vehicle.
This is because electric vehicle servicing requires specialist safety equipment, as the batteries hold high voltages and so the complex systems need to be handled with caution. Specialist tools and PPE (personal protective equipment) are required in order to prevent electric shock, for instance, which means it is essential to choose the right workshop when it comes to electric car servicing or battery health checks.
