At Metric Motors Automotive Repair Loveland, we help you keep your electric vehicle running smoothly, quietly, and road-ready, no matter what Colorado throws at it. From cold snaps to mountain grades, our team understands how to care for your EV like it’s our own.
Electric vehicles are quickly becoming part of daily life here in Loveland—and the numbers prove it. Over 1,100 EVs are already registered in Larimer County, and that figure’s climbing fast. We’re seeing more Teslas, Bolts, and Ioniqs cruising along Highway 34 and recharging at the two public DC fast chargers near downtown.

Loveland’s pushing for even more electric adoption, offering local rebates for Level 2 home charger installs through Efficiency Works. If you’ve made the switch, or are about to, we’re here to help you maintain your investment with local know-how and real EV experience.
Electric vehicles run cleaner, but they still need regular TLC. Here’s what we offer to keep yours running like new:

We use tools that comply with SAE J2534 standards, meaning you get manufacturer-grade care without dealership markup. Whether you’re commuting through downtown or climbing toward Estes, we’ll make sure your EV’s ready for the road ahead.
Here’s something most dealers won’t tell you: elevation changes everything. At 4,982 feet, Loveland’s thinner air and mountain grades can put real stress on your EV battery. Every 1,000 feet of elevation can trim off 2% of expected range, especially during long climbs up Highway 34 or into Big Thompson Canyon.
We’ve developed an Altitude Assurance Check just for this. It includes inspecting your battery’s ventilation system, adjusting regenerative braking settings for better performance on downhill grades, and making sure your thermal management systems are altitude-ready.
Other shops may treat EVs like city commuters. We know your car has to handle Loveland’s elevation, weather, and winding roads. That’s why our service goes beyond the manual, because your commute isn’t flat, and your care shouldn’t be either.
EVs might have fewer moving parts, but they still need regular check-ins, especially in a place like Loveland, where altitude, snow, and stop-and-go traffic all play a role. We’ve built a service schedule that’s tailored to local driving habits:
Interval | Recommended Services |
Every 6 months | Tire rotation, software check, brake pad inspection, multi point inspection |
Every 12 months | Coolant inspection, battery diagnostics |
Every 24 months | Brake fluid flush, cabin filter replacement |
Even if your EV’s not racking up miles, time still takes its toll, fluids break down, filters clog, and software ages. Sticking to this schedule keeps small problems from becoming expensive surprises down the road.
When you book with us, we keep things simple, transparent, and hassle-free:
12-month / 12,000-mile warranty—backed by real coverage, not just words.
We don’t believe in vague estimates or surprise fees. Before we do any work, we’ll walk you through what’s needed and why—plain and simple. We also offer EV-specific prepaid maintenance options from major brands like GM. If you’re looking to spread out service costs or plan ahead, we’re happy to guide you through your options with zero sales pressure.
Let’s make sure your electric vehicle is ready for whatever Loveland throws at it, cold mornings, canyon climbs, and everything in between. Get your Electric Vehicle Maintenance at Metric Motors in Loveland, Colorado now!
