Bring in Your Electric Car
EV Repair You Can Trust
At Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers in Muskego, WI, our professional team is here to help with all EV repair requests throughout the year. As the auto industry has evolved, we have invested in our facilities and training to ensure drivers have the best experience in our care. Whether you drive a Tesla, Ford, Chevy, Rivian, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, MINI, Porsche, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, or whatever else with a battery, we want to bring it in for world-class care. Unlike a gas model, your EV will need battery checks and electrical connection repairs as it ages. Luckily, we tackle this head-on, working around your busy schedule and offering on-site amenities like shuttle service and loaner cars for longer EV repair appointments. During your time with us, we will also charge your vehicle using a Level 2 cable to ensure you’ve got enough juice to get home. That’s one way we ensure you leave Silver Lake Auto happy with the results.
Repairs for Tesla Nameplates
Although the Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers team tackles all model EV repairs, Tesla remains a specialty. Because we have been in the business for decades, our repair brand focuses heavily on Tesla models such as Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, Cybertruck, and even Roadster when you need it. During your appointment, we will check for cabling from battery packs for breakage, cuts, wear, battery retention, energy testing, transmission checks, and the rotor and stator of the electric drive motor and generator inside your model. When you need something done right the first time, giving our ASE-certified crew a team is the best next step. We can also give you back your repair with a 36-month or 36,000-mile NAPA warranty to give you peace of mind after your appointment, so this is an excellent perk for working alongside us. No EV repair is too big or small for us, so please reach out with Tesla or non-Tesla repair requests today. You can reach our staff by phone here (414) 422-1100, swing by in person S73W16610 W Janesville Rd Muskego, WI 53150, or request an appointment online through our website 24/7. We will reply to online requests the next business day.
Battery Checks Each Year
Unlike an ICE car, truck, or SUV needing yearly engine checks, your EV will require an annual or twice-yearly battery inspection with diagnostics. During this time, the Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers team can ensure everything on and inside your vehicle is connected correctly and working safely each time you hit the road. We want to test your battery for things like poor charging, decreased efficiency, or even issues with electrical connections nearby, as your manufacturer’s warranty will only cover up to 100,000 miles on average. Once that period ends, your battery becomes your problem. If you let us help maintain and monitor your car’s battery and electric system, we’ll ensure that issues are remedied immediately. Let’s keep our roads electrified and safer than ever at Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers.
Frequently Asked Questions
EVs use high-voltage (HV) battery packs, electric drive units, and software-controlled systems instead of an engine and transmission. Proper EV work means high-voltage disable and lockout/tagout, using insulated PPE (gloves) and CAT-rated meters, and following the manufacturer’s repair procedures end-to-end.
We handle concerns with battery/charging, thermal management (coolant loops and heat pumps), suspension/brakes/tires, 12-V systems, and software-related faults. On battery systems, we include insulation resistance (isolation) testing and checks of orange-cable connections and contactors so the HV side remains safe and healthy.
Yes. No oil changes, but EVs still need tire and brake service, coolant for battery/drive electronics, alignment, cabin filters, and software updates. We follow the brand’s interval and use the correct coolants/procedures for the battery and power electronics, then bleed and verify the system the way the OEM specifies.
Dashboard messages, reduced range, slow or failed charging, unusual noises from the drive unit, or sudden changes in performance or HVAC output. We begin with a non-intrusive HV safety check, scan the EV control modules, verify thermal management operation, and inspect charge port/onboard charger before moving deeper.
It is when done correctly. We isolate and verify zero potential before work, use lockout/tagout, wear tested insulating gloves, and use CAT-rated instruments. We do not lift under the battery pack, follow model-specific lift/jacking points, and after any collision, we perform the OEM post-collision HV and thermal inspections to confirm the pack and cabling are safe.
