Changan Servicing and After-Sales Guide
Keeping your Changan running smoothly means understanding how servicing and after-sales support work. Buying a car isn’t just about the vehicle itself; it’s about peace of mind. Whether you’ve just driven off in a new Deepal S07 or are considering joining the Changan family, knowing how to maintain your car is key. From warranties that provide reassurance to sourcing the right parts and finding authorised service centres, this guide covers everything you need to keep your Changan as reliable as the day you bought it.
Warranty: Your Safety Net
Vehicle Warranty
Changan provides a seven-year/100,000-mile warranty across its models, including the Deepal S07. This level of cover gives confidence that, should the unexpected happen, you’re protected for years to come.
Battery Warranty
For electric vehicles, Changan also offers an eight-year/120,000-mile battery warranty. This ensures EV drivers can enjoy their cars without worrying about long-term battery performance.
Making a Claim
To make the most of your warranty, keep hold of service receipts and follow the recommended maintenance schedule. Staying organised ensures you remain eligible for cover if repairs are ever needed.
Genuine Parts and Availability
UK Parts Hub
Changan operates a UK-based warehouse for right-hand drive models, making parts availability quick and efficient. This reduces waiting times and ensures you get components designed specifically for your vehicle.
Why Genuine Parts Matter
Using genuine Changan parts is the best way to maintain performance and safety. While cheaper alternatives may be tempting, they can cause problems later and compromise your vehicle’s reliability.
Ordering Parts
Parts can be ordered easily through your local authorised dealer or online. Always ensure they are Changan-approved to guarantee quality and compatibility.
Servicing and Repairs
Authorised Service Centres
For servicing, stick to authorised centres. Trained technicians follow Changan’s maintenance schedules and use genuine parts, protecting both your car and its warranty.
What a Service Includes
A service typically checks all key systems, from brakes to fluids. Regular maintenance helps catch potential issues before they escalate, saving time and money in the long run.
Servicing Costs
Expect to budget £150–£250 for a standard service. It’s a modest investment for keeping your Changan safe, efficient, and reliable for the miles ahead.
Servicing Schedule for Each Model
Changan recommends following a structured servicing schedule to ensure performance and safety across all models:
● Deepal S07: Service every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
● Deepal S05 (expected UK launch): Service every 12 months or 12,000 miles.
● Eado and Nevo models (when available in the UK): Service every 12 months or 10,000 miles.
● Battery Checks: For all EVs, battery health inspections are advised annually.
Following these schedules with authorised service centres ensures warranties remain valid and your vehicle retains its value.

Changan is developing a strong UK dealer network, with around 20 dealerships already operating and plans to expand further. A local dealer ensures you have easy access to servicing, parts, and advice.
