Electric Motor & Drive Unit Repair
The drive unit of an electric car combines the motor, the power inverter and a single-speed reduction gearbox. Although it has far fewer moving parts than a petrol engine, bearings, seals, coolant passages and inverter power modules can still fail — usually announcing themselves with a whine, a vibration or a sudden loss of power.
Instead of exchanging the entire drive unit, we diagnose and repair it at component level: bearing and seal replacement, inverter board and IGBT repair, resolver/position sensor replacement and gearbox oil service.

Frequently asked questions
Is it normal for an electric car to whine?
A faint, even tone is normal. A whine that gets louder over time, changes under load, or comes with vibration usually points to worn bearings or gearbox wear and should be checked before it causes more damage.
Is a drive unit repair cheaper than replacement?
Typically yes, by a large margin. Bearing and seal repairs cost a fraction of a new drive unit, and inverter repairs can often be done at board level.
