Keep your electric vehicle safe, comfortable and performing at its best with expert tyre, brake and suspension servicing from our Hornsby workshop.
Electric vehicles may require less routine maintenance than petrol and diesel vehicles, but they still rely on tyres, brakes and suspension components to operate safely. These parts wear over time and play a major role in handling, ride comfort and overall vehicle performance.
Matt Gates Automotive provides servicing and repairs for the mechanical components of electric vehicles. From tyre replacement and wheel alignments through to brake and suspension repairs, our qualified mechanics help keep your EV driving as it should.
Even though electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than conventional vehicles, tyres, brakes and suspension components still wear over time and require regular inspection.
These systems play a critical role in vehicle safety, handling, ride comfort and overall performance. Identifying wear early can help prevent more costly repairs and ensure your vehicle continues to operate as intended.
Regular maintenance also helps maximise tyre life, maintain braking performance and keep your vehicle comfortable and stable on the road.
One of the biggest differences between electric vehicles and conventional vehicles is weight. The battery pack can add significant weight to the vehicle, placing additional load on tyres and suspension components.
Electric vehicles also deliver instant torque, which can accelerate tyre wear if wheel alignments and tyre pressures are not maintained correctly.
As a result, many EV owners find themselves replacing tyres sooner than expected or noticing suspension wear as the vehicle ages. Regular inspections can help identify these issues before they affect handling, comfort or safety.
Regenerative braking helps reduce wear on brake pads and rotors, but the braking system still requires regular inspection and maintenance.
Brake components can deteriorate through age, moisture exposure and everyday use. In some cases, electric vehicles can experience brake corrosion because the conventional braking system is used less frequently.
If you notice unusual noises, vibration when braking or reduced stopping performance, it is important to have the system inspected.
Suspension components absorb bumps, maintain vehicle stability and help keep tyres in contact with the road. As these parts wear, handling and ride comfort can gradually deteriorate.
Because electric vehicles are often heavier than equivalent petrol vehicles, suspension components can be placed under greater stress during everyday driving.
Maintaining your suspension helps improve comfort, tyre life and overall vehicle control.
Tyres are one of the most important wear items on any electric vehicle. The combination of vehicle weight and instant torque means tyre condition should be monitored closely.
Correct wheel alignment and balancing help maximise tyre life while improving handling and reducing uneven wear.
Whether you need a tyre inspection or a complete set of new tyres, our team can help keep your electric vehicle performing safely and efficiently.
Every service is conducted by trained, experienced mechanics.
You get plain‑English updates, clear quotes, and no hidden extras, no jargon, just facts.

Matt Gates Automotive services many Electric Vehicle car makes and models, including but not limited to the following brands.
Many electric vehicles use tyres designed to handle additional vehicle weight and instant torque while helping improve efficiency and driving range. Fitting the correct tyres helps maintain safety, handling and performance.
Electric vehicles can wear tyres faster than comparable petrol vehicles because they are often heavier and deliver power instantly. Regular wheel alignments and tyre inspections can help maximise tyre life.
Electric vehicle brakes should be inspected during routine servicing to ensure pads, rotors and brake fluid remain in good condition. Regular inspections can identify wear and corrosion before they become larger problems.
Suspension servicing helps maintain ride comfort, vehicle stability and tyre life. Shock absorbers, bushes, struts and steering components all wear over time and should be inspected periodically.
Matt Gates Automotive provides brake inspections, brake repairs, suspension inspections and suspension repairs for electric vehicles from our Hornsby workshop.
Tyre replacement intervals vary depending on driving habits, vehicle weight, road conditions and tyre quality. Regular inspections allow tyre wear to be monitored and replacement to be scheduled before safety or performance is affected.
