Delphi Academy launches new Tesla Service and Maintenance course
The first-ever Tesla Service and Maintenance course has been successfully staged at Delphi Academy’s recently expanded training centre in Warwick. Using the latest manufacturer data and training methods, the first of the new training sessions took place on 20 September.
With Tesla accounting for one in five electric vehicles on UK roads and many more expected to be delivered in the coming months and years, Delphi said workshops must be prepared to meet the growing demand.
Tesla Service and Maintenance course
Luke Garratt, UK technical services manager at Delphi, said:
“There are 85,000 additional Teslas entering the aftermarket within the next two years. As these cars begin to arrive in independent garages, it’s crucial for technicians to understand the unique Tesla service and maintenance needs. We’ve developed this new course to provide the practical knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to confidently work on Teslas.”
Participants will engage in hands-on, practical tasks that teach essential Tesla service techniques, helping them stay competitive in the growing EV market. The course covers operating Tesla’s service mode, accessing service documents, performing air conditioning and battery services, brake work, tyre repair and replacement, and Tesla-specific wheel alignment and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) calibration.
£500k investment
“As both an OE and aftermarket manufacturer, we are increasing our efforts to support workshops. Our trainers are seasoned technicians with hands-on workshop experience, ensuring our courses reflect real-world situations, practical scenarios, and diagnostic techniques,” Garratt continued.
A half-a-million-pound investment over the summer has seen the Warwick-based Delphi Academy double in size by extending into a neighbouring unit, bringing the total floor space to 1,430 square meters. Addressing industry needs, the extension features brand new state-of-the-art training amenities dedicated to hybrid and electric vehicle education.
The next Tesla Service and Maintenance course at the academy takes place on 10 November.
