Software Updates

Every now and then the manufacturer will find a way to improve your vehicles performance through the software. Often times these will be done through a recall campaign. When this is the case the software update will be at no cost to you.

Battery Inspection

The biggest thing we look for is leaks in the battery. Although we hardly ever find any signs of a leak it is crucial that we address any early signs of wear and tear before they are irreversible. This is also a matter of safety, but to keep your mind at ease please remember that

• These vehicles and batteries have undergone rigorous safety testing to meet the same standards expected out for modern day vehicles.
• Standards have been set for limiting spillage in the event of a crash and measures have been taken to isolate the chasis from the high-voltage system.
• The manufacturer has designed its system to deactivate the high-voltage electric system in the event of an accident.

Tire Rotations

Rotating your tires every six months will allow your tires to wear evenly and should extend the life of all four tires. When tires wear down evenly you won’t notice your vehicle pulling off to one side on its own.

If you notice your vehicle pulling to one side or the other on its own this means your vehicle is out of alignment and needs to be adjusted. Failure to do this in a timely mannor can result in damage to your vehicles suspension. Rotating your tires on time will help prevent this from happening.

Brakes and Fluids

Your vehicles brakes should be inspected after 22,000 miles or two years. Your vehicle’s brakes use a regenerative breaking process, turning friction into power for your vehicle. You should expect your brakes to last longer than traditional breaking systems as long as you are using clean break fluid.

Coolant System

Your coolant system should be checked every five years. Electric cars with a thermal management system jus as they do in traditional vehicles.
