Tesla servicing in Maidstone, Kent

Tesla servicing is different. The Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X have no oil to change, but they still need brake fluid, cabin and HEPA filters, air con and tyres looked after. Regenerative braking means the brakes hardly get used, so the calipers can seize, especially through a salty winter.

We do not use set packages on a Tesla. We check and service what your car needs: brake fluid, caliper cleaning and lubrication, cabin filters, tyre condition and rotation, suspension and an underbody check, and we quote it before any work goes ahead.

Price my Tesla service

Every Tesla is quoted on its own. Tell us the car, its mileage and what it needs, and we’ll come back with a price for your car. No obligation.

What we look at on a Tesla

No oil, still servicing

Teslas need no oil changes, but brake fluid, cabin filters, tyres and air con still need looking after.

Brakes that hardly get used

Regenerative braking means the discs and calipers can seize from lack of use, especially through a salty winter. We clean and lubricate the calipers and check the pads.

Cabin and HEPA filters

Cabin filters, and the HEPA filter on cars that have one, are replaced at the intervals Tesla recommends.

Tyres and alignment

Electric cars are heavy and wear tyres quickly. We check tread, rotate tyres if needed and can check the alignment.

The same people,
every visit.

No call centre. The person who books your Tesla in can tell you what was done to it. Anything we find is photographed and sent to you with a price before a spanner touches it.

In our customers’ own words.

They were able to fix our Tesla suspension. But price was quite dare in our open. But all fixed and now working great. Thanks

Absolute gold star service! After having the misfortune to have my Abarth mapped by someone else, and the subsequent issues and unnecessary expenditure chasing a problem that didn't exist, I've had my car mapped today by JF Automotive and it's night...

Common questions

How much is a Tesla service?
We don’t use set service packages on a Tesla. Each car is priced on its own, from its age, mileage and what it needs, so send us the details and we’ll quote your car.
Will servicing my Tesla here affect the warranty?
No. Block exemption rules mean any qualified garage can service a car under manufacturer warranty, as long as the correct schedule, parts and fluids are used and the work is recorded. We follow the Tesla schedule and stamp the book or update the digital record.
How long does a Tesla service take?
It depends on the car and the work it needs. We’ll tell you when we quote. If we find anything else, we call you with photos and a price before doing any extra work.
Can you do an MOT at the same time?
Yes. We can arrange an MOT alongside the service so the car is only off the road once.
