All over the United States are electric cars, from a variety of different companies. Tesla is the most well known fully electric car brand, and other car companies like Nissan and Chevrolet have also joined the market of creating fully electric vehicles – where no longer do drivers need to stop for gas, but instead plug in and charge. Charging stations in parking lots are also becoming more common, with some large stores having areas specifically for these vehicles to charge. With the rise of electric vehicles in the United States, our team of mechanics at our newest site, Aberdeen EV Repair, specializes in electric car service.

Basic Electric Car Service
Software Maintenance
Electric cars are constantly receiving software updates from their manufacturers, such as updates for the navigation or climate control systems, or firmware updates that control hardware like the battery management system or powertrain. These updates tweak the way that energy is used throughout the car, thereby improving performance. Software updates for electric cars are common for companies like Tesla, while other brands such as Ford and Volkswagen have also started rolling out updates for some of their electric vehicles. Our electric vehicle service center will connect your car to the manufacturer’s systems to ensure that all latest updates are received and functioning.
Cooling Systems
In order to keep from overheating, electric vehicles use cooling systems in their batteries and motors. Any issues with these systems could cause major problems if not maintained regularly. Our technicians are trained in these issues, and can identify and repair them before they damage your car.
Body Repairs
Just like any vehicle, electric cars also need repairs done for damaged, scratched, or dented body panels. Electric vehicles, however, are different than standard gas cars, and have more complex needs when it comes to having body panels repaired or replaced. At Aberdeen EV Repair, our mechanics are professionally trained in the complexities of these parts, and use only the best quality parts when performing any necessary replacements.
Complex Electric Vehicle Repairs
Charging System
Having a functioning charging system is one of the most important parts of owning an electric vehicle. Issues that may arise can include problems with the charging port, charging cable damage, or onboard charger malfunctions. Our technicians can perform various wire repairs or connector replacements.
Electrical Systems
Any wiring issues can cause problems for the entire car. Damaged, broken, or corroded wires can disrupt communication between parts, which may require reprogramming as well as repairs.
Electric Motor and Drive Unit
This area relates to vehicle movement, and issues could include a malfunctioning inverter, problems with the regenerative braking system – such as sensor malfunction -, or bearing and winding failures in the motor.
Suspension and Brakes
Electric vehicles require less service in this area than standard gas cars, but brake pad replacements and replacement of suspension components is still a necessary repair.
