Ive been asking both my main dealer and local garage about servicing to understand what is needed and what isn't. I started this thinking why bother servicing at all in thevfirst few years as nothing needs to be serviced.

What I've found has changed my mind.

Should we use our local garage and not a main dealer and why.

Electric cars are definitely easier to service as there's fewer moving mechanical parts to check and service. In fact only the brake fluid and pollen filter needs attention in the first 4 years and those seem optional. The 5th year , 50,000 miles, sees a critical check of gear reduction oil being topped up or replaced but basically that's it. Coolant gets changed at 100,000 miles also.

Brake fluids often get replaced at services every few years however it appears the flushing and ensuring of no air in the system seems to be the primary aim not that the fluid is defective. Alternative views are that if the brakes are fine why tinker with something that's fine. Tinkering could cause an issue. If it's not broke, don't fix it etc.

EV servicing is most certainly a challenge to comprehend in the traditional sense of servicing.

Checking your cars health, now that seems sensible.

Battery health is checked as part of the service. This and other components being checked shouldn't need servicing and are under warranty so I'm concerned servicing charges include checks for things which are basically covered under warranty. shouldn't these checks be free?
