Specification of works

Six lines of work, each with a fixed diagnosis price and a stated time on the sheet. Repair figures follow the measurements; nothing is ordered before you approve them.

Workshop specification — DOC. 2026-01
Pos. Work What it includes Time on the sheet From
01 High-voltage diagnostics
  • Insulation-resistance test on the traction circuit
  • Live CAN and BMS fault-code read, full freeze-frame capture
  • Contactor and pre-charge circuit check
  • Written fault report with the measured values
2–3 h from $185
02 Battery health & SoH report
  • Full charge and controlled discharge cycle
  • Usable capacity against the original nameplate figure
  • Cell-group balance map, worst and best module
  • State-of-health certificate you can hand to a buyer
1 day from $290
03 Hybrid driveline service
  • Inverter and e-motor coolant service
  • Planetary power-split set inspection
  • Clutch and damper check on parallel hybrids
  • Road test with the recorded torque split
1–2 days from $420
04 Charging & onboard charger repair
  • AC and DC inlet inspection, pin and temperature-sensor test
  • Onboard charger module bench test
  • Charge-port lock actuator replacement
  • Post-repair charge session logged end to end
1–3 days from $340
05 Brake & regenerative system service
  • Blended-braking calibration after any pad change
  • Regen strength verification against the factory curve
  • Rotor and pad measurement, brake-fluid moisture test
  • Seized-caliper service common on low-mileage EVs
half day from $210
06 Pre-purchase EV inspection
  • Battery SoH plus a read of the lifetime charge log
  • DC fast-charge session recorded on the car
  • Underbody and pack-enclosure impact inspection
  • Written verdict: buy, negotiate, or walk away
3–4 h from $240

Five columns do not fit a phone — drag the table sideways for the time and price.

Quote first

The diagnosis is a fixed figure quoted before the car arrives. Repair work is quoted from the readings.

Numbers, not adjectives

Every measurement is written onto the job sheet by hand and repeated after the repair, so the change is documented.

One day's notice

A pack below 20 % is charged before it is lifted. That adds a day, and we say so at booking rather than at collection.

Specification 04

How a job moves through the workshop

The same six stages for every car, whether it was bought here or elsewhere.

Process sheet
Pos. Stage What happens Duration
01 Booking Call or email. We ask for the VIN and the exact symptom, then quote before the car arrives. same day
02 Intake & isolation Battery state recorded, service plug pulled, the car logged against its own drawing number. 30 min
03 Measurement Every reading is written onto the job sheet by hand — never estimated, never guessed. 1–3 h
04 Approval You get the numbers and the price. No work starts on a part the sheet does not authorise. your call
05 Repair & re-test The same measurement is repeated after the repair so the delta is on the record. 1–2 days
06 Handover Signed sheet, photographed readings, and a plain-language note on what to watch next. 20 min

Drag the table sideways for the duration column.

Important · What we do not do

Four jobs we turn away

A workshop is defined as much by what it refuses as by what it sells. These four are refused for the same reason every time.

Not offered
Pos. Job Why not
01 Cell-level pack rebuilds Opening a sealed traction pack voids the manufacturer warranty and removes the car from any resale market we would stand behind.
02 Software unlocks and range “boost” files Unapproved BMS calibration changes the safety envelope of the pack. We will not sign off on a car carrying one.
03 Towing and roadside recovery We are a workshop, not a recovery operator. We will name a licensed high-voltage tow provider instead.
04 Same-day work on a discharged pack A pack below 20 % cannot be safely lifted or tested. It is charged first, which adds a day, and we say so up front.

Drag the table sideways for the reason column.

Book a slot

Bring the VIN and the exact symptom. Mon–Fri · 08:00–18:00 · Eastern Time (UTC−5)

Next step

Not sure which line of the sheet you need?

Describe the symptom on the phone. If the answer is a diagnostic, we book the diagnostic and nothing else — no package, no upsell, no parts ordered on a guess.
