Electric Vehicle Service
We provide maintenance and service for electric vehicles, Tesla among them. EV care differs from combustion-engine servicing: high-voltage safety and the right inspection routine sit at the centre of the work.
What does Electric Vehicle Service involve at Alpay Servis?
We provide maintenance and service for electric vehicles, Tesla among them. EV care differs from combustion-engine servicing: high-voltage safety and the right inspection routine sit at the centre of the work.
Electric vehicles carry far fewer moving parts than combustion cars — oil changes, timing belts and exhaust systems are simply off the list. That does not mean they need no maintenance; the content of the maintenance changes, its importance does not.
Where EV servicing focuses
The first focus is safety: on a vehicle carrying a high-voltage system, every task must follow proper procedures. The second is the mechanical side. EVs are heavy and deliver instant torque, which places extra load on tyres, suspension and wheel alignment. The third is electronic monitoring: data from the battery management system, charger and thermal management is read through a diagnostic scan.
What the service generally covers
- Scanning control units and reviewing stored warnings
- Testing the 12-volt auxiliary battery — when it fails, the car may not wake at all
- Checking brake function and surfaces; regenerative braking wears pads slowly, so corrosion is monitored instead
- Tyre wear patterns, pressures and suspension checks
- Cabin filter and climate system inspection
- Visual examination of the charging socket and connections
Range loss, charging trouble or warnings appearing on the move are signs worth investigating early. For Tesla and many other EV makes, you can reach our Bornova workshop by phone or through the online appointment form, and we will assess your vehicle's condition together.
What Does This Service Cover?
- Scanning the vehicle's control units and reviewing stored records
- Testing the condition of the 12-volt auxiliary battery
- Inspecting brakes, suspension and steering components
- Checking tyre wear patterns and pressures
- Function-checking the heating and cooling (A/C) system
- Visually inspecting the charging socket and cable connections
Signs You May Need This
- A noticeable drop in driving range compared with before
- Interruptions or warning messages while charging
- Power limitation or a warning light while driving
- A change in brake feel or vibration on the move
- Weaker heating or cooling performance from the climate system
Frequently Asked Questions
What actually needs maintaining on an electric car?
There is no engine oil, but the brakes, suspension, tyres, cabin filter, climate system and the 12-volt auxiliary battery all need regular checks. Reading the battery management data and software records during a diagnostic scan matters just as much.
Can an independent workshop service an electric vehicle?
Yes — provided high-voltage components are only approached under proper safety procedures. Maintenance, mechanical inspections and diagnostics can all be carried out at an independent workshop, and our shop puts EV safety rules at the centre of the job.
Why does brake care matter on an EV?
Regenerative braking means the pads wear slowly, but brakes that are rarely used can develop disc corrosion and sticking mechanisms. On an EV, a brake inspection is less about wear and more about function and surface condition.
Can battery health be checked?
During a diagnostic scan the battery management system's records and cell data can be read; with complaints such as range loss, this data shows the way. Any work on the battery's internals is only considered under the appropriate safety conditions.
