Tesla Services | Expert Tesla Repairs & Servicing

Professional Tesla Services Across the South and South East

Tesla has reshaped the automotive landscape with fully electric drivetrains, integrated software systems and over-the-air updates. Popular UK models such as the Model 3 and Model Y are now a common sight on British roads, combining high performance with low routine maintenance requirements.

While Teslas do not require oil changes, exhaust repairs, cambelts, or traditional engine servicing, they still require professional maintenance to remain safe and efficient. At Elite Garages, our Tesla services focus on the components that matter in an electric vehicle: braking systems, tyres, suspension, wheel alignment, diagnostics, and climate systems.

Built Around Software, High-Voltage Systems and Regenerative Braking

Tesla vehicles are engineered around high-voltage battery packs, electric motors, advanced driver-assistance systems, and integrated vehicle software. With fewer moving mechanical components than petrol or diesel vehicles, servicing needs are different but not eliminated.

Regenerative braking reduces friction brake wear during everyday driving. However, reduced brake usage can lead to disc corrosion, particularly in damp UK conditions. Additionally, the weight of battery packs places sustained load on suspension and tyre components.

Servicing a Tesla properly means understanding these EV-specific wear patterns rather than applying traditional combustion-engine logic. Read more the popular Model 3 and Model Y on the official Tesla site.

Tesla Services at Elite Garages

Below is a breakdown of the Tesla services we offer across the Elite Garages network.

Tesla MOT Testing

All Tesla vehicles over three years old require an annual MOT. Although electric vehicles are exempt from emissions testing, the MOT still covers brakes, suspension, steering components, tyres, lights, seatbelts, wipers, and structural integrity.

Because Teslas use regenerative braking, friction brakes may be used less frequently, which can lead to uneven disc corrosion. During MOT preparation, we check brake condition carefully to reduce the risk of failure. We also inspect suspension components, which experience sustained load due to battery weight, particularly on Model Y variants. Book your Tesla MOT today.

Tesla Repairs & Diagnostics

Tesla vehicles are software-driven machines. Many systems — from steering to climate control — are electronically managed. If warning messages appear or systems behave unusually, accurate diagnostics are essential.

We carry out fault scanning and system checks to identify issues affecting sensors, steering systems, electronic modules, and auxiliary components. While Tesla software updates are delivered over the air, hardware-related faults still require professional inspection. Book Tesla diagnostics at an Elite Garages near you.

Tesla Brake Servicing

Regenerative braking significantly reduces pad wear, but it does not eliminate brake maintenance. In fact, reduced use of friction brakes can allow surface corrosion to build up on discs, especially in wet UK conditions or on vehicles used primarily for short journeys.

Regular inspection helps:

• Prevent uneven braking
• Avoid MOT advisories or failures
• Maintain smooth pedal feel
• Reduce long-term replacement costs

If required, we can clean, service, or replace brake components using suitable parts for Tesla vehicles. Book a Tesla brake repair or brake replacement today.

Tesla Suspension & Steering Checks

Tesla vehicles are heavier than comparable combustion-engine cars due to battery packs mounted within the floor. Over time, this additional weight can place sustained stress on suspension bushes, dampers, and steering components.

Early signs of suspension wear may include:

• Increased road noise
• Slight steering vibration
• Uneven tyre wear
• Reduced ride comfort

Routine inspection helps preserve handling precision and extend tyre lifespan, particularly on high-mileage Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. Book a free suspension check at any Elite Garages branch.

Tesla Wheel Alignment

Correct wheel alignment is particularly important for electric vehicles. Even minor misalignment can accelerate tyre wear and reduce efficiency, directly impacting driving range.

Signs you may need alignment include:

• Steering pulling to one side
• Uneven tyre wear
• Steering wheel not sitting straight

We offer two- and four-wheel alignment tailored to Tesla’s weight distribution and suspension geometry.

Tesla Tyres

Tyres have a significant impact on range, handling, and road noise in Tesla vehicles. Because EVs deliver instant torque, tyre wear can be accelerated if alignment or pressure is not correct.

When fitting tyres for Tesla vehicles, we ensure:

• Correct load rating for battery weight
• Appropriate speed rating
• Compatibility with EV torque delivery
• Balanced comfort and grip for UK road conditions

Here is more information on the different tyre brands we stock and supply across our network of garages.

Which Tyres Are Best for my Tesla?

Tesla vehicles such as the Model 3 and Model Y require tyres that can handle instant torque and the additional weight of the battery pack. The right tyres can improve driving range, reduce road noise, and extend overall lifespan. Here are a few options:

• Michelin Pilot Sport EV – Designed specifically for electric vehicles, offering strong grip and reduced rolling resistance for Model 3 and Model Y
• Continental EcoContact 6 – Efficient and quiet, helping maximise driving range on everyday commutes
• Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 – Durable and well suited to high-mileage Tesla drivers
• Bridgestone Turanza T005 – Comfortable, stable, and well balanced for UK road conditions

Brands such as Michelin, Continental, Goodyear, and Bridgestone offer suitable EV-focused options. Our team can advise based on your model and driving style. You can also reserve your Tesla tyres online for convenient fitting.

Tesla Air Conditioning & Climate System Checks

Tesla climate systems manage not only cabin comfort but also thermal management components within the vehicle. While battery systems are managed internally, maintaining the HVAC system supports airflow quality and interior comfort.

Cabin filters should be replaced periodically, particularly in urban environments, to prevent reduced airflow or odours. Regular inspection ensures the system operates efficiently year-round. Book a Subaru airconditioning regas or service today.

Tesla ADAS Calibration

Tesla vehicles use cameras and sensor arrays to support driver-assistance systems. Following windscreen replacement or certain suspension and alignment work, recalibration may be required to maintain correct operation. Proper calibration ensures that safety systems continue to function as intended.

Currently, three Elite Garages branches offer ADAS Calibration, including Fareham, Salisbury, and Southampton with more to come.
