Northampton hybrid and electric car specialists
At Motorvation we offer a comprehensive range of servicing for all manufacturers and models of hybrid and electric vehicles in Northampton.
You might think that you need to take your hybrid/electric car back to the manufacturer to be serviced because it needs specialist equipment and knowledge, but that is not the case. Almost all car manufacturers now produce hybrid or fully electric models, so it isn’t really a specialist area anymore.
It is true that hybrid/electric servicing is a little different, but we have been working with hybrids for many years. That’s why we’ve invested in the latest technology and specialist training for our vehicle technicians to work on hybrid/electric vehicles. Doing this means that we offer a range of services for hybrid/electric vehicles.
We have a team of IMI accredited technicians at Motorvation Northampton who can safely diagnose, service, repair and care for most models of hybrid/electric vehicles.
Affordable electric and hybrid car services in Northampton
If your vehicle is not under a manufacturer’s warranty, you can select one of our hybrid or electric service options. These are the most popular and cost-effective servicing options we offer, and they’ll give you big savings when compared to the cost of taking your car back to the manufacturer for servicing.
If your car is under a manufacturer’s warranty, we can still service your car. It just means that we have to follow the manufacturer’s servicing schedule to stay within the terms of your warranty. It is a standard procedure, and we do it all the time, so don’t worry.
As the service schedule varies between manufacturers, the amount of work and parts required is different from car to car. So, give us a call (link number) and we can quote a price that is specific to your car, which will almost certainly be cheaper than the cost of taking your car back to the manufacturer to be serviced.
Our full range of hybrid/electric services include:
