I took my ELECTRIC CAR for its first EVer SERVICE and was SHOCKED! Prepare yourself for this...

Life is too short for waiting in a queue to charge a car.

I can't be the only person who has noticed how much customer service has deteriorated in all areas public and private since public sector flu !

I love my fossil fuelled Audi TT Roadster. No moving crematorium for me.

Let's not forget the 20,000 to 50,000 gallons of H2O it takes to put one out when it bursts into flames for no apparent reason. Nasty chemicals & toxic heavy metals flowing into the water supply the whole time...

95% of all EV’s are still on the road, the other 5% made it home!

Anyone who bought into the electric car charade deserves everything they get.

As an old school mechanic. That's more of a vehicle check, than a service. A hilarious piss-take.

Wow that’s insane!! I’m wondering if it’s that expensive for all makes of EV,s. Imagine if you are trying to run a fleet of trucks for transporting essentials and what that will do to prices!! Holly crap!!

£750 for a safety inspection? Wow that is scandalous.

Good to see that the exhaust system and catalytic converter got a green stamp of approval, Also good to see they checked the engine for noise and smoke. That got a green stamp as well. Cam belt was fine.

Good video. Just shows how the average person with a mortgage or rent to pay won't be able to even afford the service on an EV

I'm a retired auto technician, and looking at that sheet of work performed....I just hope they gave you a cigarette after that!

Lee I am a mechanic and undertake those service checks on cars I work on. I work in an independent Garage where our costs are much lower than franchised dealerships. I am amazed when a customer shows me an invoice from a main dealer with just how much they charge. As for EVs they have much less to do as they do not have an engine. The dealers are not going to let their revenue slip away so will always find ways to pad the bill. EVs are still relatively a new thing and yes I know how long the Leaf has been around but things will still go wrong as they get older. One thing I have learned after thirty years working on cars is they may be more reliable these days but when they go wrong they cost a lot more to fix. As I started to watch I had a figure of £300 in my head for what was probably an hours work. You have definitely had your trousers well and truly removed.

Got a 2006 Toyota Landcruiser. Washer jet needed replacement, call to parts, ordered and delivered to dealer within 48 hrs. Polite phone call to advise it was available to collect. Wandered down there, through Dubai Hotel standard granite showroom to the parts counter. Apprehended by ‘front desk’ lady who insisted I sat in the plush sofa, got me a coffee and biscuits, and only then proceeded to ask why I was there. A minute later the part and paperwork were handed to me (albeit not on a velvety cushion) and I had a nice chat with the parts guy. Pleasant experience but the cost of all that BS is built into your price. Still, £17.50 for a washer jet for a 17 year old car is fair enough imho. Well done Toyota.

⚠️TOP TIP Always write down your requirements in duplicate . Leave one in the car and one at reception. Never give verbal requests they disappear. TOP TIP No2 Never let main agents do servicing. It funds their fancy showrooms. TOP TIP No3 Never buy an EV

I’ve got an old 2012 Citroen with a 1.6 diesel engine and low mileage. It cost me £5000 and it does 50 mpg around town! When you factor in the cost of buying these electric cars it doesn’t make sense, and when they get as old as my car, you’ll get stung for the huge cost of a new battery.

I cannot believe they can’t get a part for your virtually brand-new car. Just to put that into perspective, I’ve just bought a brand new cigar lighter and housing for my ‘1958’ Ford Fairlane 500!

I just took my 2022 Honda Civic in for its 1 year service and they charged me $60.

Common sense and my location told me EVs weren't my answer. I added a second ICE pickup to my fleet and I'm good for life.

Everybody is always saying that electric cars don't have anything to service. That's simply not true. You have coolant, gear oil, brake fluid, cabin air filters, etc. You say you don't hardly use the brakes, but some times that does more harm than good. Parts need to be used to keep them from corroding and freezing up. What nobody wants to talk about is the fact that EV'S are much heavier than ICE vehicles. That weight is extremely hard on tires and suspension components. All that needs to be checked. The principals of an electric car are simple, but the reality is they are extremely complex systems that most people can't work on themselves even if they wanted to.
