Electric vehicles still need regular servicing, just not the same items a petrol car does. We service Teslas, Model 3 and Model Y, at Southport, Nerang and Caloundra, so you’re not stuck going back to the dealer for every check-up.
What a Tesla actually needs serviced
There’s no oil change, since there’s no engine oil to change. What still needs regular attention is the brake fluid, the coolant that manages battery and cabin temperature, the cabin filter, and the tyres, which tend to wear faster than on a petrol car because of the instant torque. We check all of it to the manufacturer’s schedule.
Brakes that last longer, and still need checking
Regenerative braking means the physical brake pads on a Tesla usually last a lot longer than on a petrol car, but they can also seize or corrode from being used less. We check them properly every service, not just assume they’re fine because the pads look thick.
General repairs and inspections
Beyond the standard service, we handle general repairs and full safety inspections, and we’ll talk you through anything that needs attention along with the cost before doing any of it.
Fixed price, no surprises
Every job is priced and agreed before we start, so there’s no surprise on the invoice when you collect the car. That’s the same promise behind everything we do, all car servicing, no surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Do I still need to service my Tesla if there’s no engine oil? Yes. Brake fluid, coolant, cabin filters and tyres still need regular checking, even without an engine oil change.
Do you check the battery on my Tesla? We check what’s accessible for a standard service. Battery-specific diagnostics beyond that sit with Tesla directly.
Will servicing here affect my Tesla’s warranty? No. Using an independent workshop for standard servicing doesn’t void your Tesla’s warranty.
How do I book a Tesla service? Book online any time, or call your nearest branch and we’ll confirm a time that suits you.
