Electric vehicles still need regular servicing—even without an engine oil change. Recently, the team at Marks Mechanics welcomed a Zeekr X into the workshop for its scheduled maintenance, carrying out a comprehensive inspection to ensure every important system continued operating safely and efficiently.
This stylish Zeekr X electric SUV was booked into Marks Mechanics for its routine scheduled service. Like any modern vehicle, regular maintenance helps identify wear before it develops into larger or more expensive problems.
Although EVs have fewer moving drivetrain components than petrol or diesel vehicles, they still rely on sophisticated braking, steering, suspension and cooling systems, all of which require periodic inspection.
As shown in the workshop photo below, the Zeekr X arrived at our Garbutt workshop looking every bit as modern as the technology hidden beneath its sleek exterior.
For drivers around Townsville, regular servicing is especially worthwhile thanks to the region's warm climate, changing road conditions and everyday stop-start driving, all of which place ongoing demands on vehicle components.
At Marks Mechanics, every scheduled EV service includes a thorough inspection tailored specifically to electric vehicles.
During this service our technicians completed:
Each of these checks plays an important role in maintaining the vehicle's safety and reliability.
Although regenerative braking reduces brake wear, brake components can still develop corrosion or uneven wear if left unchecked. Likewise, tyres and suspension continue to experience the same loads as any other vehicle—and in some cases, EVs place even greater demands on tyres due to the additional weight of the battery pack.
The cooling system is another essential part of an electric vehicle, helping regulate battery and electrical component temperatures, particularly during North Queensland's warmer months.
One of the standout features of the Zeekr X is its advanced camera and driver assistance technology. As shown on the vehicle's large centre display, these systems provide an impressive 360-degree view to assist with parking and manoeuvring. During servicing, our technicians also inspect safety-related electronic systems as part of the overall vehicle health check.
Following its scheduled inspection, the Zeekr X was confirmed to be in good condition, with all key systems checked as part of its manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule.
Routine servicing helps keep electric vehicles operating safely and efficiently while allowing potential concerns to be identified early, before they become more costly or inconvenient.
Whether you drive an electric vehicle like this Zeekr X, a hybrid, petrol or diesel model, regular servicing remains one of the best ways to maximise reliability, safety and long-term performance.
