EV service in Victoria, at your charger.
No oil, but plenty to do: tire rotations that EV torque demands, brake checks, cabin filter, coolant and a 12V battery that fails like any other. Done at your Victoria address.
Every ev service visit in Victoria
- Tire rotation and wear check — EVs wear tires 20–30% faster
- Seasonal tire swap, on rims — spring and fall
- Brake inspection (regen means pads corrode before they wear)
- Full safety check — lights, wipers, fluids, belts, hoses
- 12V battery health check, and fluids where needed
- Cabin and engine air filters as needed, and unlimited pre-road-trip inspections
- No oil change — an EV has no engine oil, so nothing about oil capacity applies
Victoria
Victoria has a lot of electric vehicles, and the mild climate means the maintenance story is almost entirely tires and brakes: rotations to even out torque wear, and a brake inspection because regen leaves pads to corrode rather than wear.
Driveways and quiet streets across Saanich, Oak Bay and the West Shore. Downtown condo parkades don't fit the van; a curb spot works.

What maintenance does an EV actually need?
Tire rotation and a wear check (the most important item — EVs are heavy and instant torque scrubs tires), the seasonal tire swap on rims, a brake inspection, a full safety check of lights, wipers, fluids, belts and hoses, and a 12V battery health check with fluids topped up where needed. Cabin and engine air filters as needed, and pre-road-trip inspections whenever you want. No oil, no spark plugs, no transmission service.
Do you service Teslas in Victoria?
Yes — Tesla, Hyundai/Kia, Ford, GM, VW, Rivian, Polestar and the rest. Anything with wheels and a 12V battery.
Why does my EV need a 12V battery?
The high-voltage pack powers the motors; a conventional 12V battery powers the computers, locks and the contactors that connect the pack. When it fails the car is as dead as a gas car with a flat battery — and it fails on the same schedule.
Is the plan the same price for an EV?
Yes. $199 a year per vehicle, plus the $20 mobile service fee per visit (first 4 visits a year; $30 after). The visit list is different; the price is not — and with no oil to change, the charge for engines over 6 L never applies to an EV.
Can you do anything with the high-voltage system?
No. Pack, motor and charger work goes to the manufacturer. We do everything around it — tires, brakes, 12V, filters, fluids — which is nearly all of the maintenance an EV ever needs.
Same van, same visit.
Mobile oil change
Victoria's mild winters mean oil isn't punished by cold starts the way it is on the Prairies, so we follow the manufacturer's longer interval — typically 8,000–12,000 km on full synthetic — rather than a sticker's 5,000 km.
Full synthetic from $117.75 + $20 mobile service fee.Annual maintenance plan
In Victoria, the plan is calendar-led as much as mileage-led — a visit every six months even when the odometer barely moves, because oil, batteries and tires age by time as well as distance.
$199 per vehicle per year + $20 per visit.Seasonal tire swap
Victoria doesn't need a winter-tire season the way the Prairies do, so here this visit is mostly a rotation: front to back, pressures set, tread recorded — the thing that makes a set of tires last 80,000 km instead of 50,000 km.
$60 per swap, or included on the $199/year plan.Car battery inspection & replacement
Victoria's mild climate is kind to batteries, so the ones we replace here usually died of sitting, not of cold.
Load test on every plan visit; replacement at posted price.
