What we do on a BYD
Brake pads, rotors and brake fluid, suspension and steering components, wheel bearings, tyres and rotation, the 12-volt battery, cabin and air filters, wiper blades, coolant for the petrol engine on plug-in hybrids, and the inspection items that go with a service. These parts wear on a BYD exactly as they do on any other car, and they are what most owners need help with.
What we leave to BYD
The high-voltage battery, electric motors, inverter, on-board charger and charging port are not part of our work. If a fault sits in those systems, we tell you straight and point you to the BYD service network. Our aim is to be useful, not to pretend.
Shark 6 and Sealion 6: the petrol engine still needs servicing
The plug-in hybrids carry a 1.5-litre petrol engine that needs oil, filter, coolant and spark plug attention on schedule, even if it rarely runs. We service that engine and the rest of the mechanical side at your home or yard, which suits Shark 6 owners using the ute for work.
Why owners book a mobile mechanic for a BYD
Brake wear on heavy, regenerative-braking cars can be uneven, rotors can corrode from light use, and tyres on quick electric cars wear fast. A local mechanic who comes to you, inspects properly and quotes honestly fills the gap between dealer visits.
Before you book
Will you work on the BYD battery or charging system?
No. High-voltage work stays with BYD. We handle brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, the 12-volt battery, filters and the petrol engine on plug-in hybrids.
Does servicing with you affect the BYD warranty?
Independent servicing of items done to the manufacturer schedule with suitable parts preserves your consumer rights in Australia. For items tied to the high-voltage system, use the BYD network. We record everything we do.
