The Go-To Shop for EV Repairs — Murray Automotive
Comprehensive Electric Vehicle Repairs
As drivers shift to more eco-friendly cars, electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly popular and affordable. But because they are built and operate differently than their gas-powered siblings, not every shop is trained and equipped to handle their maintenance and repair needs. When you need electric vehicle repairs, you’ll want to have them performed by experienced mechanics who understand your vehicle inside and out. If you live near Powhatan, Virginia, you’re in luck — Murray Automotive offers comprehensive electric vehicle services for all EV makes and models.

Equipped with some of the best tools, parts, and equipment on the market, we handle any of your EV repair needs. They include battery repair or replacement, charging system repairs, brake services, and more. Our shop is open Monday through Friday, so if your electric vehicle needs servicing, visit us at 1721 Douthit Court, Powhatan, VA 23139!
Batteries, Tires, Brakes, and More
Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than their hybrid or conventional counterparts, so they require fewer maintenance visits. Of course, they will eventually need servicing as parts begin to wear out. EVs differ from oil-powered vehicles in that they use powerful batteries for fuel rather than gasoline. These batteries are designed to last for many years. They are composed of many individual cells that can be replaced when they start to lose their charge or become damaged. Our team can replace damaged cells if your battery just needs repairs. If it’s unrepairable, we can perform a complete replacement. Tires are another unique area for EVs because they are designed to handle the vehicle’s heavier weight and higher engine torque. If you need tire repairs or are looking to buy a new set, our technicians offer both tire services and sales so that you can meet all of your EV tire needs in one place. And while brakes on electric vehicles last longer thanks to regenerative braking, we offer comprehensive brake maintenance and repairs. It doesn’t matter what your EV needs. We’re equipped to handle all of the above and more!

Frequently Asked Questions
Murray Automotive is equipped to service electric and hybrid vehicles, including Tesla, and is not limited to dealerships. We have high-voltage training, the appropriate safety equipment, and diagnostic software for EV and hybrid systems. You have a choice — you don’t have to default to the dealership.
We handle EV and hybrid diagnostics, 12V auxiliary battery service, charging system inspections, brake system service (including regenerative braking), suspension and steering, HVAC, and general maintenance. For Tesla specifically, we also perform battery health checks, MCU diagnostics, and high-voltage system work.
Come in for a diagnostic. A hybrid battery warning can mean anything from a single failing cell module to a broader system fault. Early diagnosis often means a more targeted and less expensive repair. Ignoring it can lead to complete high-voltage battery failure.
Yes, though less than gas vehicles. EVs still need tire rotations, brake inspections (including regenerative brake system checks), cabin air filter replacements, 12V battery service, coolant system maintenance, and suspension checks. Skipping these because “it’s electric” is a common mistake.
Our technicians follow strict high-voltage safety protocols, including wearing appropriate PPE, using insulated tools, and properly disabling the high-voltage system before any work begins. We don’t treat EV repair casually — the voltage levels in these vehicles are genuinely dangerous without proper training and equipment.
Yes. We service a wide range of hybrid vehicles across all makes. Bring it in and we’ll look up the exact specifications and service requirements for your hybrid system.
