⚡ Servicing your car at an independent shop does not void your vehicle warranty — protected under Canadian consumer protection law.

By the Radman Auto Repair team, independent auto repair in Etobicoke since 1999 · Updated October 2026

Electric cars need less maintenance than gas cars, not none. Brakes rust from low use, heavy EVs wear tires fast, and the 12V battery and battery coolant still need care. Radman Auto Repair services Teslas and every other EV in Etobicoke, with high-voltage trained technicians and honest diagnosis.

Quick answer: EVs need yearly brake service, regular tire rotations and alignment, cabin filters, coolant at the scheduled interval and a 12V battery check. Independent service does not affect your warranty.

At a glance

  • Brakes: clean and lubricate yearly; they seize from low use
  • Tires: rotate about every 10,000 km; check alignment yearly
  • 12V battery: test yearly; a weak one can strand an EV
  • Coolant & cabin filter: at the intervals in the maintenance schedule
  • Warranty: independent maintenance keeps it intact

Frequently Asked Questions

Do electric cars need maintenance?

Yes, just less of it. EVs skip oil changes, but brakes, tires, alignment, suspension, cabin filters, coolant for the battery and electronics, and the 12V battery all need regular service.

Can an independent shop work on an EV safely?

Yes, with high-voltage training and the right procedures. Our technicians follow isolation procedures and use insulated tools for any high-voltage work, and most EV maintenance does not touch the high-voltage system at all.

Which EVs do you service?

Tesla, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6, Kia EV6 and EV9, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Chevrolet Bolt, Volkswagen ID.4, Nissan Ariya, Polestar, Audi e-tron, Lucid and other EVs.

Why do EV brakes need service if they barely wear?

Because they barely get used. Regenerative braking does most of the slowing, so the friction brakes rust and seize in salt. A yearly clean and lube prevents it.

Does servicing my EV here void the battery warranty?

No. EV battery warranties, typically 8 years or 160,000 km, cover defects. Independent maintenance does not affect them.

Do you fix high-voltage battery problems?

We diagnose warnings and charging faults, and we tell you honestly when a problem is a battery warranty or recall item for the dealer.

Alex is a great guy. He took the time to respond by phone and walk me through my options for my Tesla Model Y 2024 and gave me his perspectives as a Tesla owner. Top recommendation in my books for the Toronto area.

I cannot say enough good things about Livio and the team at Radman Auto Repair in Rexdale. We brought in my son’s 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer because the A/C was malfunctioning. We had already been to two other shops, paid for diagnostics, and received different explanations, so we were frustrated and unsure what to do next. Livio was outstanding. He listened carefully, looked at the issue, and explained everything clearly and in detail in a way that actually made sense. He was able to narrow down what was going on within minutes, without guessing, pressure, or recommending unnecessary work. What really stood out was that he did not charge us another diagnostic fee after learning we had already paid for two separate diagnoses. Even better, the work was completed the same day, which was a huge relief. It is rare to find a mechanic who is knowledgeable, honest, patient, efficient, and genuinely focused on helping customers understand the real issue before they spend money on repairs. Livio truly gets it. We are so happy we found Radman Auto Repair and would highly recommend Livio and his team to anyone looking for trustworthy, skilled, and customer-focused service..

My 2015 Honda CR-V was blowing hot air and making noise when the A/C was on. The Compressor and Expansion valve needed replacement due to metal debris in the system. I rarely write reviews, but I felt it would be wrong not to appreciate Radman for their service, especially after what I went through before finding them. I’m writing this one month after the repair because I wanted to test my A/C on multiple long trips before recommending them. One thing I learned from this experience is that many mechanics know how to replace parts, but very *few follow the right procedures* and perform the proper checks. I initially went for a cheaper repair at a local mechanic. The problem came back, and afterward he didn’t seem to know what to do next. I found Radman through Google reviews without any personal recommendation, so I was taking a chance. They properly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly before starting the work, didn’t exaggerate the problem, and charged me a reasonable price. A/C issues can be complicated but they answered all my questions and I honestly haven’t had such a good and detailed conversation with a mechanic in the GTA about an A/C problem. Their knowledge and experience with A/C systems really stood out. I also had a catalytic converter issue. Another mechanic simply recommended replacing it, which would have cost at least $2,000. Radman explained that considering the age and condition of my 2015 CR-V, such an expensive replacement might not make sense. They gave me the replacement cost but also suggested trying Cataclean first. I tried it, and so far I haven’t had any issues. After a month and several long trips, my A/C is still working well. It’s rare to find this combination of knowledge, transparency, and honesty. Thank you, Radman, for the knowledgeable and honest service. I genuinely appreciate it.

I fix my cars myself but I always go to Radman for AC work. Been coming here for years and they do great work and are fairly priced. The guys are honest and reliable. Very clean waiting room too!

Finding a mechanic who actually understands EVs and is completely trustworthy is hard to come by, but ⁠Radman Repair is excellent. The service was top-notch, they explained everything to me with so much patience, and the overall experience was a 10/10. 100% recommended!
