Find a shop that actually works on EVs

An electric drivetrain removes most of what a traditional garage is set up for — no oil, no timing belts, no exhaust — and replaces it with a 400 V or 800 V battery pack that is genuinely dangerous to work near without training. Shops that service EVs properly carry high-voltage safety certification, insulated tooling, and the manufacturer diagnostic access needed to read pack-level fault codes.

The result is a smaller, more specialised market. A dealer service centre will always be an option, but independent specialists frequently repair at module level what a dealer will only replace as a whole assembly — which is where the meaningful cost differences appear.

This directory only lists shops that publicly document EV work. Each entry records what we could verify and when we last checked it, and our methodology page explains exactly what that means.
