The Engine Bay offer professional and trusted Hybrid and Electric car servicing in Salisbury Plain.
What is the difference between Hybrid and Electric vehicles?
Electric vehicles run on electricity alone – powered by an EV battery pack and require regular recharging through an external source.
Hybrid vehicles have the ability to run on electricity and petrol or diesel and the battery is topped up through regenerative braking.
Both types of vehicles should follow a regular service schedule to ensure your safety and keep the vehicle reliable. We will follow the manufacturers Log Book service schedule and stamp your log book so you can maintain your new car warranty.
We inspect a range of components such as: Batteries, Brakes, Cabin Filters, Shock Absorbers, Air Conditioning, Electronic Testing, Fluids, Cooling Systems, Steering and Suspension, Tyres, Lights Wiper blades etc. Just like a conventional car regular servicing and inspections are just as important.
You have made a significant investment in new technology so the best approach is to maintain your vehicle at peak performance. Let The Engine Bay be your workshop of choice and keep you mobile.
We are constantly striving to be the best we can be by training and developing our staff in new technology. The car industry is no exception to this constant change.
At The Engine Bay we have undertaken extensive training in the repair and service of Hybrid and Electric operating systems and are able to service all makes and models along with diagnosing any faults.

Log Book Service FAQs
Our customers regularly ask these questions.
Do you check my brakes?
Yes. If your brakes are at their worn limit or close to, we give you the option of changing the pads and machining the rotors while the car is with us for it's service. Otherwise we can give you a rough timeline of how long you might have before they require changing.
How often should I change my fuel filter?
We recommend every 30,000km or every third service
How often should I change my cabin air filter?
Usually once a year. We inspect this with every service. We will clean it if possible ie remove leaves, minor debris or we will recommend changing it if it is clogged or damaged. It's important to keep the air inside your car fresh.
What brand of oil do you use?
Penrite, always, we trust this brand for all vehicles. If a customer specifies a genuine oil we can source this.
Can you fill in my log book?
Absolutely. We ask that you leave the log book on the passenger seat for easy access.
Will you check my battery?
Most definitely. We will test your battery at every service and advise you if it is on it's way out.
I have an engine light on. Is that part of my service?
No, it is not part of your service. We can definitely look at the engine light but that is a diagnostic service and requires time to diagnose the issue separately. Once we have identified the issue we will provide a quote for repair. In many cases we can address the issue at the same time while you car is in for a service. In other cases we may need to wait for a part or undertake a major repair over a few days. We will always discuss this with you and plan for the work to be done.
What is included in a service?
Oil and oil filter change including a 65 point safety check which can identify any potential issues in the future.
What happens when you find an issue during my service?
If there are any issues identified during the service, we provide you with a report and quote as quickly as possible. No work is completed unless authorised by you.
