As winter approaches, ensuring your electric or hybrid car is in top condition becomes essential. Scotland Sash Garage offers comprehensive winter car checks specifically tailored for electric and hybrid vehicles in Oxford, Didcot, and surrounding areas. Whether you drive a hybrid or fully electric vehicle, winter brings unique challenges. Here’s why a winter check-up is crucial and what to expect.
Why Winter Checks are Essential for Electric & Hybrid Vehicles
Electric and hybrid cars have different components from traditional vehicles, meaning they can be more sensitive to cold weather. Low temperatures can impact battery performance, tire grip, and even heating systems. A winter check can:
- Enhance battery efficiency in colder months
- Ensure safe and reliable braking systems for icy roads
- Extend vehicle lifespan through preventive maintenance
Key Areas for Winter Maintenance
At Scotland Sash Garage, we focus on the following areas to keep your electric or hybrid vehicle running smoothly all winter:
- Battery Health Check: Cold temperatures can reduce battery range, so we inspect and maintain battery health to ensure reliability.
- Brake System Inspection: Electric and hybrid vehicles often use regenerative braking, which benefits from regular winter maintenance.
- Tire & Tread Check: Winter roads demand maximum traction, making it essential to inspect tire tread and pressure.
- Heating System Assessment: In electric vehicles, heating can drain the battery faster. We check and optimise heating systems to keep you warm without compromising range.
- Fluid Level Check: Fluids, including brake and coolant, perform differently in low temperatures and may require adjustment.
Benefits of a Winter Check-Up
Getting a winter check-up at Scotland Sash Garage means:
- Improved safety on icy or wet roads
- Prolonged battery life and reduced winter wear
