Does the Service and Repair Code cover electric vehicles?<\/h1>\n

Yes, The Motor Ombudsman\u2019s Service and Repair Code<\/a> does cover the servicing and repair of new and used electric cars at an independent garage or franchised car dealership. The Motor Ombudsman can look into your dispute regarding the servicing and repair of an electric vehicle if the business is accredited to our Service and Repair Code and is listed on our online Garage Finder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As with petrol or diesel vehicles, The Motor Ombudsman cannot look into a dispute for an electric vehicle that has been bought solely for business or trade use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":73992,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"knowledge-base-category":[624],"class_list":["post-76534","knowledge","type-knowledge","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","knowledge-base-category-electric-vehicles"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDoes the Service and Repair Code cover electric vehicles?
