Yes, EVs need a shop too. Tires wear faster, alignment matters more, brakes still wear (just slowly), and 12V batteries fail just like ICE cars. We service Teslas, Priuses, Bolts, EV6s, Lightnings — anything you drive.
We don't pretend to do battery-pack work or motor swaps — those go to dealers. But every EV still needs the basics, and we do them better and cheaper than the dealer service department.
EVs eat tires faster due to weight + instant torque. We stock EV-rated tires (Michelin, Continental). Alignment and rotation extend life significantly.
EVs are heavy — alignment specs matter more than ICE cars. Misalignment kills tire life and range.
Regen handles most braking, but pads still wear and rotors rust. Worth inspecting yearly.
Even Teslas have a 12V battery. They die on the same 3-5 year cycle as any other car. We replace same-day.
HEPA filters in modern EVs. Cheap to replace, big difference in cabin air quality.
Brake fluid still needs flushing every 2-3 years. Some EVs (Tesla included) have transmission fluid. Coolant for battery thermal management on most.
We work on every major EV and hybrid. Some require special tools — we have them.

| Ford F-150 Lightning / Mach-E | Full service | Tires, brakes, alignment, 12V, cabin filter |
| Rivian R1T / R1S | Tire / alignment | Tires + alignment yes; service plan otherwise routes to Rivian |
Yes — less than ICE cars, but still. No oil changes, but tires, brakes, alignment, 12V battery, cabin filter, and brake fluid all still need attention. Skip them and you spend more later.
Yes. The combination of high weight (often 1,000+ lb heavier than equivalent ICE) plus instant torque plus regen-on-deceleration wears tires 20-30% faster on average. Rotation every 5,000 miles is essential.
No. Modern alignment racks handle EV specs perfectly. The work is the same as ICE — we just check the manufacturer's slightly tighter tolerance specs.
Yes. We stock the Model 3/Y 12V battery and the AGM unit for older S/X. Same-day.
