The Oil Experts are now the EV Experts

At Jiffy Lube, we’ve powered up our EV expertise. 

While EVs have fewer moving parts compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, they still require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The focus of EV maintenance primarily revolves around the battery, electric motor, and cooling system.  Preventive maintenance is key to avoiding costly repairs down the road.

Jiffy Lube can provide convenient and personalized maintenance services for electric vehicles:
  • 12V battery cleaning or replacement 
  • Tire rotation, replacement or repair
  • Wheel alignment 
  • Brake inspection & brake fluid exchange
  • Windshield wiper replacement/washer fluid top-off
  • Cabin air filter replacement
  • Replacement of steering and suspension components, hoses, headlamps, taillights, etc.
  • Key FOB battery replacement

Keep in mind that hybrid vehicles combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor and therefore have unique requirements for preventive maintenance, which includes regular oil changes. 

To determine the specifics as to what maintenance does an electric car need, you should refer to your vehicle owner’s manual. Everything should be spelled out clearly, including what periodic checks and services must be performed to keep the vehicle’s warranty in effect. Jiffy Lube can help answer any questions you have, as well.  A trained Jiffy Lube technician will ask you questions about your driving style, perform a complete visual inspection of key EV components and service points and present you with service recommendations based on this visual inspection and manufacturer recommendations. 

With highly skilled technicians, Jiffy Lube can complete EV maintenance in one quick trip.   At Jiffy Lube, we’re experts at keeping your vehicle running smoothly with services and diagnostics performed at Jiffy Lube Idaho.
