BMW EV Service in Monrovia
What's Different About Servicing Your BMW EV?
Despite their differences, electric vehicles and vehicles powered by combustion engines have similar maintenance needs. Though an all-electric powertrain means less complexity and no need for engine maintenance like oil changes and spark plug replacements, plenty of components still require regular servicing.
EVs still require regular maintenance. Brake pads and rotors will wear over time, and tires will require replacement, just like a gas-powered vehicle. Suspension components, battery systems, and fluids will also need regular checkups. While it all sounds complicated, Southern California shoppers need not worry - BMW of Monrovia is here to handle your EV service needs with a smile.
Service With the EV Experts!
BMW of Monrovia has eleven technicians certified for EV service. With over 100 years of combined EV experience and 200 years of combined BMW experience, Â you can rest easy knowing that your EV is in qualified hands.
EV Service Perks
We understand that dropping your vehicle off for service isn't where your day ends. Continue your commute on the 210 Freeway or go wherever you need to in Los Angeles County with a complimentary EV service loaner vehicle. You get the same quality ride with the same quality service.
Specialized EV Tools
You can't get the job done without the right tools. BMW of Monrovia has them. We have specialized lifting tables for HV (high-voltage) battery packs, adapters for HV components, special above-ground lifts for battery removal, and more. This specialized high-voltage battery equipment allows us to ensure your BMW EV is operating as it should.
EV Service Advantages
Without an internal combustion engine or traditional multi-gear transmission, an EV is more affordable to own and maintain. There are fewer moving parts and complexity, which means fewer components to break. You can say goodbye to time-consuming and sometimes expensive services like fuel pump replacements, gasket replacements inside the engine, turbocharger maintenance, and more.
But the cost-savings doesn't stop there. San Gabriel Valley drivers can also experience less wear and tear on other components when they drive an EV. Regenerative braking allows for less use of the physical brakes, which means you can go longer and further between brake jobs. Overall costs to service an EV can also be lower.
Filters
Cabin air filters and other important filters still need regular servicing. BMW of Monrovia proudly provides comprehensive BMW EV filter service
Suspension
The added weight of an EV means more stress on your vehicle's suspension system. From air suspension systems to shocks and struts, we have your BMW EV suspension needs covered.
Fluids
While motor oil and other lubricants specific to the engine are no longer a factor, there are still some fluids that need to be routinely monitored in an EV. Wiper fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, and brake fluid are all necessities that we can help with.
Battery
EVs still have a traditional 12-volt battery to power low-voltage systems like the radio and window switches, and regular checkups are good for longevity. We can also run diagnostics on your vehicle's High Voltage (HV) battery system to ensure it remains healthy
Brakes
Whether you're cruising the Angles National Forest backroads or encountering traffic on the 405, brakes are important. While regenerative braking helps prolong your braking system's life, regular maintenance and service is still required.
Tires
EVs weigh more than comparable combustion engine vehicles, leading to a shorter lifespan for your tires. With regular wheel alignments, tire pressure monitoring, and rotations (when possible), you can get the most out of your EV's tires
EVs generally require less maintenance than vehicles with combustion engines.
EVs and gas-powered vehicles share some maintenance items. Examples include tire services, brake services, suspension services, and filters and fluids.
If used regularly in extreme conditions, EV batteries can last between 8 and 12 years.
Each BMW EV comes with an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Avoid charging above 80% when possible, and don't let the battery dip below 10% state of charge. Avoid DC charging and be sure to precondition the battery using the MyBMW app in extreme warm or cold climates.
