Independent Leapmotor Servicing in Barnsley: What to Expect

Yes, you can have your Leapmotor serviced by an independent garage without losing the manufacturer warranty, provided the work follows Leapmotor's schedule, uses parts and fluids of the right specification and is properly recorded. Here is what a good service should include and what to ask before you book.

What should a Leapmotor service include?

• work to the manufacturer's schedule for the car's age and mileage

• oil, filters and fluids that meet Leapmotor's specification

• checks on brakes, tyres, steering, suspension and lights

• a fault-code check if a warning light is showing

• an itemised invoice, with the service reminder reset and the record updated

What should Leapmotor owners keep an eye on?

• Electric cars still need servicing. There is no oil to change on a fully electric model, but brakes, tyres, suspension, steering, cabin filter, coolant and the 12-volt battery all still need checking. Our EV hub covers electric car ownership.

• Brakes. Regenerative braking means the brakes are used less, which can let discs corrode. They need checking even when the pads look fine.

• Range-extender models. Some Leapmotor models carry a small petrol engine as a range extender, which needs its own servicing.

• Parts and software. As a newer brand in the UK, some parts may need ordering in, and software updates are normally handled by the manufacturer network. Ask about timescales when you book.

Does an independent service affect the warranty?

Not on its own. UK competition rules are designed to let you use an independent garage during the warranty period, as long as the servicing is done properly. Recalls and repairs paid for under the warranty itself are normally handled by a franchised dealer. Our guide to independent servicing and your warranty explains the detail.
