More customers are asking about EV maintenance, and it's changing our daily routine.

We're spending less time on oil changes and more on software updates.

Picture how major software updates require the car to be parked and OFF for a couple hours. That forces shops to block out big chunks of SCHEDULED time instead of quick service slots. Now they have to figure out loaner cars or shuttle runs, adding hidden labor and planning. The whole flow of the shop day gets turned upside down.

But what if shops are making this harder than it needs to be? This could just be a chance to get smart with scheduling. Run the big updates overnight or during lunch breaks when the car would just be sitting anyway. You can also check for updates before the car even comes in and schedule the time right then. It just takes a little forward thinking instead of reacting.
