BMW Electric Vehicle Service in West Houston, TX
Service Your BMW Electric Luxury Vehicle in West Houston
At BMW of West Houston, we offer quality EV services for drivers across the region. Despite being gas-free, electric vehicles come with similar components as conventional vehicles, with the primary difference being EVs' power source stemming from a battery pack vs. an internal combustion engine. Maintenance and repairs you would typically have performed on your car's engine do not apply for EVs, saving you money down the road. If any of this seems complicated, our team at BMW of West Houston is here to help make EV service easier than ever.
Your EV's battery typically will not need significant maintenance, but our technicians are here to provide cell module balancing if needed. Since BMW electric models use regenerative braking, brake services are often not needed as frequently as with a gas-powered car. Common EV services we can help with at BMW of West Houston include wheel adjustments, tire services, windshield wiper blade replacements, cabin filter services, and suspension services.

Advantages of EV Maintenance
Electric vehicle service is usually required less frequently than gas-powered vehicles, and since less moving parts are involved, wear and tear is less noticeable. EVs with regenerative braking technology need less brake repairs and maintenance, since brake pads with this system usually last longer. Your overall service costs will be less expensive in the long run, and our team can make sure your vehicle is always at its best.
Services like oil changes, oil filter replacements, and coolant flushes are not necessary with an EV. Common maintenance appointments include tire balancing and suspension adjustments, which are important due to the often heavier total weight of electric vehicles. Fluid services, annual battery checks, and inspections are also offered at our West Houston service center.
Filters
There's not a need for oil or engine air filters, but other replacement filters are still needed. Cabin air filters and transmission filters will still need to be replaced regularly.
Suspension
Replacement of struts and shocks are still needed regularly. The increased weight of the battery on the suspension means the regular checks should not be skipped.
Fluids
Your EV still needs to flush and refill fluids regularly. Visit us when you need coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, or transmission fluid.
Battery
We are happy to replace any faulty EV battery and perform battery cell module charging regularly. We recommend annually!Â
Brakes
Regenerative braking can prolong the life of your braking system, but brake maintenance is still necessary. We can help with new brake pads, rotors, and other brake services.
Tires
Increased EV vehicle weight may cause additional wear on the tires. This makes it important to stay on top of tire rotations, wheel alignments, and other tire maintenance for your BMW electric car or SUV. We recommend rotating or balancing your tires every 5,000 miles to prolong tire life through even wear.Â
Yes, electric vehicles have fewer moving parts involved and need less frequent maintenance as a result.
Sometimes EVs require similar services, which may include tire service, brake service, suspension service, and cabin filter service.
Your EV’s battery will typically last over 100,000 miles, working for 8-12 years.
Yes, all EVs in our lineup come with an 8-year / 100,000-mile battery warranty.
Avoid charging your EV past 80%, and try not to let your charge drop below 10%. Rapid charging can heat up your battery and should be avoided whenever possible. Keep heat exposure low when possible, and try to limit DC fast-charging.
