Electric & Hybrid Fleet Repair
Most repair centres can’t touch the high-voltage side of an electric van. Sapphire Garage handles HV isolation, body repair, battery inspection and re-commission for fleets that need their EVs back on the route fast.
Approved Repair Partner For
Last-mile fleets shouldn’t have to split an EV accident repair between a specialist high-voltage shop and a body shop. That doubles the time off the route, the paperwork, and the cost. Sapphire’s IMI-certified technicians do both on the same site, the same job.

Hyundai recommended Sapphire garage to me. During my first telephone contact they were very helpful and arranged with me to assess my car and formulate a plan which Carlo did the next day.
Carlo was extremely helpful and assisted us through the process of getting approval from the at fault party's insurance. He kept me up to date at all times by phone and email.
The repair was completed efficiently and effectively and again communication was excellent. I was kept informed throughout the whole process.
All of the staff were professional and friendly at all times. Nothing was too much trouble.
Highly recommended.

Had a technical fault with my car and Carlo and the team at Sapphire Garage sorted it out quickly and efficiently. They kept me informed every step of the way, explaining what they were doing and why, which I really appreciated. The level of service was fantastic – the issue was fixed promptly, the price was very reasonable, and they even valeted my car and topped up the windscreen washer fluid! It’s clear they go the extra mile for their customers. I’d definitely recommend them and won’t be going anywhere else for any car needs in the future. Thanks again!

I have had 3 vehicles repaired by Sapphire over a few years and cannot recommend them highly enough. From the friendliness of the staff to the professional and honest way they deal with you - it’s a revelation in an industry traditionally with a good portion of “dodgy” work and overcharging. Two of my jobs were “unusual” but nothing phased the team at Sapphire and unlike other companies, you can even speak with the owner if needs be. Super guy. Leads from the front and sets the standards his staff work to.

Excellent service. My wife’s Abarth had a problem with its side skirt beginning to detach. Carlos and Tasha got it in and fixed the same day. Side skirt now looks as good as new. Everyone happy. Thumbs up.

Electric & Hybrid Fleet Repair FAQs
Are your technicians qualified for high-voltage work?
Yes. Our EV technicians hold IMI Level 3 qualifications — the recognised UK standard for safe high-voltage automotive repair.
What if the battery is damaged?
Any collision near the battery floorpan triggers a manufacturer-spec integrity inspection — physical, thermal and electrical. We document the result and only proceed once the battery is confirmed safe.
What happens if the battery is condemned or the vehicle is written off?
We hold damaged HV batteries in compliant on-site storage and arrange OEM replacement where the fleet operator approves it. Where the vehicle is written off, we issue a documented condition report your insurer or operator can use to settle the claim.
Will repair void my fleet warranty?
No. We use OEM parts and manufacturer-approved methods, and supply the documentation your warranty audit needs.
Do you handle Amazon, DPD or Evri-spec vans with route hardware fitted?
Yes. Scanner cradles, parcel shelving, telematics and sliding-door electrics are standard M.E.T. work for us.
Do you collect damaged EVs?
Yes. We use flatbed recovery for any EV with potential HV damage. Driving an electric vehicle with a compromised battery isn’t safe.
