EV & Hybrid Repairs & Servicing – Brighton and Hove

Electric and hybrid vehicles are no longer a niche, but finding an independent garage genuinely equipped to service and repair them still is.

CG Auto in Portslade, a short drive from Brighton and Hove, holds Level 4 EV training, the highest level available to independent workshops, covering everything from high-voltage system safety to fault diagnosis and repair. It is the kind of qualification that makes a real difference when something goes wrong, or when you simply want the reassurance that your vehicle is being looked after by people who understand it.

What we cover

CG Auto services and repairs a wide range of electric and hybrid vehicles, handling both routine maintenance and more complex electrical work. Services include:

• EV and hybrid servicing in line with manufacturer schedules
• High-voltage system inspection and safety checks
• Battery health assessments
• Regenerative braking system checks and repairs
• Charging system diagnostics and repairs
• Thermal management system checks
• General mechanical repairs applicable to EV and hybrid platforms

Expertise and training

Level 4 EV accreditation is not standard across the independent garage sector, and it represents a significant investment in both training and equipment. At CG Auto, the qualification covers safe working practices around high-voltage systems, accurate fault diagnosis, and the technical knowledge to carry out repairs correctly. All diagnostic work is carried out using Bosch equipment, the same technology used by main dealers, ensuring results are precise and any issues are identified properly.

For drivers making the switch from petrol or diesel, or those who have owned an EV or hybrid for years, the level of technical competence here at our workshop in Portslade is genuinely comparable to a franchised dealer, at more competitive prices and with shorter lead times.

Protecting your warranty

For electric and hybrid vehicles still within the manufacturer’s warranty period, all servicing is carried out in line with the recommended schedule using original equipment parts, keeping your cover fully intact. Post-warranty servicing packages are available at Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels.
