About the Shark 6
The BYD Shark 6 (PHEV ute) is a sensible, well-built PHEV ute that’s cheap to keep healthy — provided the servicing is done properly and on schedule.
We service BYD to the correct schedule and use the right parts and oils for your exact Shark 6 — usually for less than the dealer.
Common Shark 6 service points
The things we keep an eye on with the Shark 6: EV-side brake and tyre care plus petrol-engine servicing (oil by date as much as distance, since the engine often rests), the cooling systems for both battery and engine, brakes and suspension under load, and software-aware checks. Australia’s breakout PHEV ute — it needs both the EV-side care and engine servicing, and we handle both.
Everything is quoted in writing up front, so you always know what your Shark 6 is getting and why.
