Care made simple: With the ID. Buzz, three consecutive services and your first MOT are included as standard, so you can enjoy every drive with total peace of mind.

An electric vehicle service includes the following:

Checking your charging cable

During a service, your vehicle’s charging cable is inspected for any wear and tear, damage or corrosion. Our expert technicians check the connectors, test the insulation and ensure the cable is safely and efficiently transferring power during charging.

Checking your battery level

Our expert technicians will check your battery’s level to ensure it’s operating within the optimal range and has sufficient charge. They also assess the battery’s overall health and efficiency to make sure it’s performing well and not showing signs of wear or any other potential issues.

High-voltage check

We thoroughly inspect high-voltage parts and cables to make sure they’re not damaged and are properly secured and routed. This helps to keep your vehicle safe and prevents any electrical issues. It also ensures everything is working smoothly, reducing the risk of breakdowns or malfunctions.
