Independent EV & Hybrid Specialist Care | Sunshine Coast
Certified High-Voltage Automotive Engineering. Dealership-Level Diagnostics. 100% Factory Warranty Protected Car Servicing in Caloundra West.
EV and hybrid service is a whole new ball game, requiring a new standard of automotive care. Shane Murty is fully certified in the latest vehicle technology and his workshop, at Unit 6, 3-5 Exeter Way, Caloundra West, is heavily invested in the advanced tooling and diagnostics needed to keep high-tech vehicles performing at their peak.
Owners of premium battery electric vehicles now have an ideal alternative to dealerships for logbook servicing. The servicing specifications of EV manufacturers are meticulously followed at Murty’s, ensuring that your factory warranty remains intact, including Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X and BYD Atto 3, Seal, Sealion models.
Bypass the Dealership. Keep Your Warranty Intact.
Don’t fall into the trap of believing you need to go to a dealership or a major city service centre to keep your new car warranty intact. Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), and backed by the ACCC, you have the right to choose an independent repairer for your logbook servicing.
The Competition and Consumer Amendment (Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Information Sharing Scheme) Bill 2021 legally mandates that independent workshops have access to all factory software updates and computer codes.
At Murty’s Auto & EV Centre complex EV and hybrid powertrains meet authentic, local independent care, along with strict high-voltage safety compliance and factory-grade diagnostic tools. We source OEM-specification parts and lubricants matched to your vehicle’s VIN. Your logbook is then certified, keeping your manufacturer warranty 100% intact.
Our Most Popular EV & Hybrid Services
We specialise in preventive maintenance items that address the unique wear patterns of electric drivetrains:
Regenerative Braking Maintenance
We inspect, clean, and lubricate physical braking components to stop salt, moisture, and rust buildup caused by lack of friction use.
Advanced Metal-Free Brake Lubrication
Because EV and hybrid brakes run significantly cooler than petrol cars, moisture and coastal salt air do not burn off naturally. This leads to rapid corrosion. At Murty’s, we use premium, 100% metal-free synthetic lubricants that resist salt-water wash-out and that won’t interfere with your vehicle’s electronic regenerative braking sensors.
Battery Diagnostics & Thermal Management
We run advanced state-of-health cell checks and execute deep cooling system flushes to protect battery longevity in harsh Queensland conditions.
High-Voltage System Inspections
We test insulation integrity and examine inverter cooling loops to ensure the safe operation of your high-voltage cabling. If you’re looking for an expert Nirimba EV mechanic, for example, our high-voltage workshop bay delivers dealer-equivalent technology.
Suspension & Specialised EV Tyres
We supply, fit, and align low-rolling-resistance EV tyres designed to handle the heavy battery weight loads that stress suspension bushes.
