Welcome to RT Mechanics, your go-to garage for all things electric vehicles (EVs) in Surrey!

Whether you’re new to electric vehicles or considering making the switch, we’ve got you covered. So, let’s embark on this electrifying journey together!

 

What Are Electric Vehicles?

Electric vehicles, often referred to as EVs, are cars powered by electricity instead of traditional internal combustion engines that run on gasoline or diesel. They are part of the growing movement towards sustainable transportation, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular due to their eco-friendly nature, low operating costs, and advancing technology.

 

Why Choose an Electric Car?

Electric cars offer a host of benefits that make them an appealing choice for environmentally conscious drivers. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider making the switch to an electric vehicle:

  1. Environmental Impact: EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, meaning they do not release harmful pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier planet.
  2. Cost Savings: Electricity is generally cheaper than gasoline or diesel, resulting in lower operating costs for electric vehicles. Additionally, EVs have fewer moving parts, leading to reduced maintenance expenses over time.
  3. Quiet and Smooth Operation: Electric cars run quietly and smoothly, offering a serene driving experience without the noise and vibrations associated with traditional engines.
  4. Government Incentives: Many regions offer incentives and rebates to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, making them more affordable for consumers.
  5. Technological Advancements: As technology progresses, EVs are becoming more efficient, with longer driving ranges and faster charging times, making them more convenient for everyday use.

With our expansion into 2 sites, we now have a whole MOT and servicing centre to speed up the process for you.
We can pretty much repair and service any car, however we specialise with BMW, Audi, Mini, Volvo and Audi vehicles. Our staff use the latest diagnostic equipment for each and are fully trained in each model.

Used to rate this place 10 years ago but of recent times I found the person on the phone to be quite rude. In addition to this, they were going to charge me over £500 more than what Audi quoted for. Would recommend going to a main dealer first.

I had a problem with my wipers and after another local garage failed to permanently resolve the problem, I went to RT Mechanics having seen they were a Seat specialist. They identified a broken wire and incorrect motor fitted, and replaced it with OEM parts. They quoted me for replacement of the motor and linkage before finding the broken wire, however the final cost was not far off the quote. More expensive than other garages in the area, but I am happy that my wipers are fully functional again! (And hopefully stay that way.)

I don't normally leave reviews but felt impelled to share my experience. My car went in for a wheel bearing replacement and I have to say it was an amazing experience. My car was collected, repaired and delivered all in one day and the job has transformed it. The communication beforehand was great and the price didn't break the bank. Thank you guys and I will definitely be using RT mechanics again.

I agree below - so expensive and employees all seem a bit cocky (for some reason). Twice I haven't heard back from them asking for a quote. Hard to find a trustworthy, or even a reasonably affordable garage in Haslemere.

Whoever says competitive price is lying, this garage is made up of cowboys, once sent my car there and was given a massive list of items that “HAD” to be done, costing me total £4000, and they said my breaks were so bad they couldn’t with good conscious let me have the car back so I got them to do the break pads for about £300. Thinking this sounded a little dodgy, I took it to a trusted Mercedes garage where I used to live, they said most of the jobs on the list were not necessary and it would cost £1200, plus the break job that RT did was only half done!Please shop around first and get quotes, they may be convenient for some, but it didn’t cost me £2800 to return to my original garage.

Mike was so helpful when I got a nail in my tyre. He went out of his way to work around the difficulties of not being able to do without a car for 24 hours whilst waiting for a replacement tyre to be delivered. I’ve now booked an MOT with them and intend to stay with them rather than continue to use the local car dealership.Thank you Mike!

Very good local and independently run garage who perform work to a high standard using OEM parts. One thing to bare in mind is that they aren’t cheap - quoted slightly more than the dealer in my case £75 more than ŠKODA) but they did price match to their credit.
