As the automotive industry evolves, so do we. Windsor Garage Coventry is fully equipped to handle the unique servicing and repair needs of modern Electric Vehicles and Hybrids. All our technicians are trained and certified to Level 3.
The automotive landscape is changing rapidly, and Windsor Garage Coventry is changing with it. As more and more drivers in Coventry and across the West Midlands switch to electric and hybrid vehicles, we have invested in the training, equipment, and expertise needed to service and repair them to the highest standard — without the main dealership price tag.
Every single one of our vehicle technicians at Windsor Garage Coventry is trained and certified to IMI Level 3 for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles. This is the industry-recognised gold standard for working safely and competently on high-voltage EV and hybrid systems, and it is the qualification that the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) requires for technicians to work on live high-voltage components. It covers safe working practices around high-voltage battery systems, electric motor diagnostics, regenerative braking systems, battery health assessment, and the safe isolation and reinstatement of high-voltage circuits. When you bring your EV or hybrid to Windsor Garage, you can be completely confident that it is in the hands of fully qualified specialists.
Many EV and hybrid owners in Coventry assume they must return to the main dealership for servicing and repairs — but this is a common misconception. Under UK Block Exemption Regulations, you are legally entitled to have your vehicle serviced at any qualified independent garage without voiding your manufacturer’s warranty, provided the correct specification parts and fluids are used, and the work is properly documented. At Windsor Garage, we always use OEM-quality parts, follow manufacturer service schedules, and provide full documentation of all work carried out — so your warranty is fully protected.
Electric vehicles require less frequent servicing than petrol or diesel equivalents because they have fewer moving parts and no engine oil to change. However, they are not maintenance-free. EVs still require regular checks of the braking system (including the regenerative braking components), tyres, coolant circuits, cabin air filter, 12V auxiliary battery, and high-voltage battery health. Hybrid vehicles additionally require servicing of their combustion engine components alongside their electric systems. Our Level 3-certified technicians understand the specific requirements of each vehicle type and will perform the appropriate checks for your particular model.
We offer battery health checks for both pure electric vehicles and hybrid models. A battery health check assesses the state of charge, capacity, and overall condition of your high-voltage battery pack, identifying any degradation or cell imbalance that may affect your vehicle’s range or performance. Early identification of battery issues can save significant expense further down the line.
Whether you drive a Tesla, Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, Volkswagen ID.4, Toyota Prius, Honda Jazz Hybrid, Ford Kuga PHEV, Kia e-Niro, Hyundai Ioniq, or any other electric or hybrid model, Windsor Garage Coventry has the skills, the equipment, and the Level 3 certification to look after it properly. We are the trusted independent EV and hybrid specialist for drivers across Coventry, Binley, Walsgrave, Wyken, Stoke, Cheylesmore, Canley, Tile Hill, Allesley, Kenilworth, Rugby, and the wider West Midlands.

Absolutely. All of our technicians at Windsor Garage Coventry are trained and certified to Level 3 for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles — the industry-recognised standard for working safely on high-voltage EV and hybrid systems. You do not need to visit a main dealership for your EV or hybrid servicing in Coventry.
Level 3 is the IMI (Institute of the Motor Industry) qualification for hybrid and electric vehicle technology. It covers safe working practices around high-voltage systems, battery health assessment, electric motor diagnostics, and regenerative braking systems. It is the highest level of EV competency for workshop technicians, and every technician at Windsor Garage holds this qualification.
EVs generally require less frequent servicing than petrol or diesel vehicles because they have fewer moving parts and no oil changes. However, they still require regular checks of the braking system (including regenerative brakes), tyres, coolant, cabin air filter, and high-voltage battery health. We recommend an annual check as a minimum for EV owners in Coventry.
Yes. Our Level 3 certified technicians are equipped to service and repair hybrid vehicles from all major manufacturers, including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, Volkswagen, and more — without the main dealership price tag. We serve hybrid owners from across Coventry and the West Midlands.
A battery health check assesses the state of charge capacity and overall condition of your EV or hybrid battery pack. Over time, battery capacity can degrade. A health check gives you a clear picture of your battery’s performance and can identify any cells that may need attention before they become a costly problem. We recommend an annual battery health check for all EV and hybrid owners.
No. Under UK Block Exemption Regulations, you are legally entitled to have your vehicle serviced at any qualified independent garage without voiding your manufacturer’s warranty, provided the correct parts and fluids are used, and the service is carried out to the manufacturer’s specification. At Windsor Garage Coventry, we always use OEM-quality parts and document all work carried out.
