LKQ Academy Internal Training Guide 2024

Hybrid and Electric Vehicles ​ Is your customer already EV trained?

When vehicle owners switch from ICE vehicles to EVs, around 50% of them decide to change the garage they use for maintenance and repairs. The main reason for this switch is a lack of awareness. These vehicle owners often assume that their current garage might not be equipped or knowledgeable enough to handle EVs, so

they look for a new one that explicitly states it can work on electric vehicles. Make sure your customer is aware of this and understands that it is their responsibility to ensure their customers are aware of their full service offering, especially during this transitional period.

Becoming an EV ready workshop

Workshops need to be ready to service and repair electric and hybrid vehicles. But why wait – electric vehicles are not only the future; they’re the present.

With millions of electric vehicles already on the road, the time to act is now.​
