BYD Shark 6 Common Problems & Tips

The BYD Shark 6 is a familiar sight around Melbourne’s south-east. A Cranbourne West workshop covers servicing the Shark 6 and the common things to watch.

How booking works: booking online to find out what’s wrong is our $374 incl. GST pre-paid diagnostic — a dedicated two-hour diagnostic booking plus a written report, not a free quote, and it applies even if we find the likely fault sooner. Any repair is quoted separately in writing before we start. Booking a service or already know the work you want? Call 03 8782 0711 or pick that service in the booking form instead.

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 — at our $299 Chinese-brand logbook rate — level with or under the dealers’ capped-price menus — with a loan car available and prices fixed in writing first.

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.

Servicing your Shark 6 & keeping the warranty

BYD’s factory warranty does not require dealer-only servicing — under Australian Consumer Law you can use an independent for logbook servicing (with correct parts) and keep it valid. We stamp your book.
