It's a common error to think that battery electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles don't require servicing.
It is true that there’s far less moving parts and therefore less to go wrong with an EV, Hybrid or PHEV, there are still safety service items which need to be periodically attended to.
The list of service items is even longer when it comes to plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) or hybrid electric vehicles. Irrespective of its fuel type, it’s imperative your electric car is regularly serviced so it’s safe to drive, remains reliable and ultimately retains value.
Would you consider buying a car that hasn’t been regularly serviced?

The need for a safety certification in Queensland
Having a safety certificate protects the buyer, as it acts as a guarantee that the vehicle meets the safety standards set at the time of inspection in Queensland, thus allowing the transfer of registration between buyer and seller quickly.

Not a Perfect Report?
When we inspect a vehicle, at times we find faults with the vehicle. You can then use this report to get the seller to lower the price or repair the vehicle before you purchase it.
No more buying a vehicle only to find out that the road worthy it came with did not reflect the true condition of the vehicle.
CUSTOMER REVIEWS
John
"Absolutely amazing service helping with a pre-purchase inspection of a used car I was looking at buying.
Paul went above and beyond with advice and support, patiently explaining every check on the vehicle in detail and thoroughly answering all of my 1000 questions.
Refreshing to have a mechanic who genuinely wants to help people, in an age where most of the industry act on a transactional basis.
A+++++ service"

"Paul at EV DRIVE runs a terrific business. We had an issue with our Lexus CT200H and as my wife is a Community Aged Care worker she needs her car to do her job. Paul diagnosed the fault quickly and efficiently, keeping us informed through the process. He then sent across a quote for the repairs before proceeding. Paul also noticed the car needed a major service so he also quoted on this work. We were happy with the price so asked Paul to go ahead. Paul completed all the work as promised in that day at a fair price and the work is first rate. Paul and EV DRIVE will be our new mechanic for future work and servicing on our Lexus CT200 Hybrid. Why would you take the car to Lexus when you can get first rate service and quality work with a local small business.
Thanks Paul!"
Farrell
"I took my newly purchased car into Ultra Mechanics to have timing belt and water pump replaced and service, spark plugs etc the cost around $2000. A couple of hours later Paul called me to let me know that all these things had previously been done and that my bill was now just for an inspection. He was still happy when I went to collect the car. How would I describe Paul and Ultra Mechanics ....
Honest! Honest! Honest!"

"Paul was great, he went above and beyond to get my car fixed. There were some unexpected issues but Paul kept me in the loop and let me know what it would cost before he did anything. I recommend UltraMechanics without reservation.
Thanks mate."
