Just because your EV doesn’t need oil changes doesn’t mean it doesn’t need expert care.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are quickly becoming a common sight on Adelaide roads. Sleek, quiet, and efficient, they’re changing the way we think about driving—and about car maintenance.

But here’s a myth we hear all the time:
“EVs don’t need servicing.”
That’s not quite true. While electric cars are simpler in some ways, they still require specialist care—and not every workshop is qualified to deliver it.

At Carrington Street Auto Repairs, we’re proud to be part of Repco’s NexDrive network, which means we’re fully certified and equipped to service your EV—safely, professionally, and in line with manufacturer requirements.

• Battery health checks and thermal management inspections
• Brake system checks (especially regenerative braking systems)
• Suspension, steering, and tyre wear monitoring
• High-voltage safety inspections
• Cooling system maintenance for battery and electronics
• Air conditioning servicing and cabin filter replacement

And of course, like any modern vehicle, EVs rely heavily on software and sensors, which means diagnostic scanning and occasional system updates are part of good maintenance.

• Our technicians have undergone specialised EV training
• We have the tools to work safely with high-voltage systems
• We understand manufacturer specifications and follow them closely
• We can help protect your new car warranty by using approved parts and procedures
• Your EV is covered by the Repco nationwide warranty

So you get dealership-level expertise with the friendly service and transparency of a trusted local workshop.

• Brake pads can wear unevenly due to regenerative braking
• Tyres can degrade faster due to increased torque
• Cabin air filters can become clogged
• Cooling systems can overheat
• Software or sensor faults may go unnoticed until they create performance or safety issues

Routine inspections help identify these issues early—before they affect your safety or lead to costly repairs.

• Online booking
• Clear explanations and honest advice
• Genuine care from a team that’s proud to stay ahead of the curve

Whether you drive a Tesla, BYD, Nissan Leaf, or hybrid SUV, we’re here to help you get the most out of your vehicle—today and into the future.
