-An #EV is hard to service? -An EV requires no #maintenance. -I am afraid of losing my warranty. -As a vehicle mechanic I will lose my job because of #electricvehicles. -You cannot #travel in an EV. -I don't want to waste hours taking my EV to service and get an ICE loaner. (Dear OEMs/vehicle dealers just... NO! stop doing this🤯) --------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a brilliant guy called Matt Cleevely AAE MIMI who has busted all the above myths and it has worked out so well, that he is #hiring again. I've got to service my EV and would love for a specialist to show up at my doorstep and not to search for a ZE Ready workshop. At the beginning not everyone was allowed to touch EVs (that should continue like that, you need 400V high voltage certification to work on an EV). Some dealers take it more or less seriously, the worst I had was a Renault workshop attached to a multi brand car dealer, who looked at the km driven and immediately wanted to change my brake pads. 🚩🚩🚩 I didn't even ask, if he had ever touched an EV, turned around and left. Same guy didn't let me use his air compressor, because he was closing (nearest possibility to inflate tire was 8km away). This garage was literally 2 min walk from where I lived, but I preferred to drive to a garage 75km away, with a good reputation like Renault Girona - Intercargirona. What would make them even better? To understand why Matt services any EV in the entirety of the UK. (hi friends from the UK EV scene: Could you all SHARE and COMMENT this post for YOU to get the best EV service I've seen around some help?)

Your car is a complex machine, and just like an orchestra, every part needs to function perfectly for a smooth ride. But what happens when a key component goes out of tune? The vehicle technician is the conductor who diagnoses problems and restores your car's harmonious performance. Vehicle technicians are more than just mechanics; they're detectives, surgeons, and communicators. They wear many hats throughout their day, ensuring your car runs safely and efficiently. With a keen ear and specialised tools, technicians pinpoint the cause of strange noises, warning lights, or performance issues. From faulty spark plugs to hidden leaks, they act as detectives to solve the mystery. Once a problem is diagnosed, the technician becomes a skilled mechanic. They meticulously repair or replace faulty components, ensuring your car regains its former glory. This may involve intricate tasks like rebuilding an engine or calibrating delicate sensors. ✅ More Than Just a Job Being a vehicle technician is a dedication to keeping the automotive world in tune. It's a skilled profession that requires a blend of knowledge, precision, and customer service. ➡️ Are you an automotive technician dreaming of taking your career in UK?

Cars Are Made Up Of Approximately 30,000 Parts! There are so many different parts in a car, it is almost impossible for the average car owner to know all of them. That's why it is so important to hire a knowledgeable technician to repair your car when there is a problem. You might know of a few of the more common auto parts such as the battery, engine, headlights, brake pads, and more. But there are hundreds of parts you may have never even heard of, like the combination valve, distributor, spacer ring, fuel injector, and more. So, if you ever bring your car in for repair and it takes longer than you'd like it to, remember, your mechanic has to consider every one of those 30,000 parts before he can pinpoint the problem and get it back to you in perfect condition! Here at Denver's Quality Automotive, we strive to get you back on the road as quickly as possible. And, while occasionally, it may take longer than you'd like, we guarantee that it will be done right!

Dear Automotive Technician, Do not look away from the vehicle while it is being raised (or lowered) on a hoist. Often one side or one end of the hoist can stop or fail, resulting in the vehicle being slanted enough to slip or fall. Take Caution! #SafetyFirst #Hoist #ServiceAdvisor #AutomotiveTechnician #AutomotiveEngineering #AnzenFirst #AutomotiveWorkshop
