By catching potential issues early, we help prevent costly repairs down the line.
Hybrid Battery Testing and Replacement
The battery is the heart of a hybrid vehicle, and its health is crucial for optimal performance. Over time, hybrid batteries can degrade, leading to reduced efficiency and power.

What To Expect before your Diagnostic appointment:
Diagnosing a vehicle is our first step to determining what repair is needed if need be. The diagnostic process can take anywhere from a few minutes, to a few hours depending on the initial findings.We are appointment based, so we run our schedule by the hour. We have all the necessary tools & tricks to figure it out, but sometimes certain issues can be a little more difficult to pinpoint right away. For most diagnostic services we please ask that you prepare to leave your car with us for the day, in case extra time is needed to fully find the issue. Some diagnostics require us to test your 12 Volt battery, which in most hybrid vehicles is located in the trunk. We please ask you to clear out your trunk of any heavy or large items so that we are able to access components in the rear.
What To Expect before your Service appointment:
Depending on the work we’ll be doing, we please ask you to make sure that your trunk is clear, and if you have any attachments to your vehicle that they be removed. If your vehicle will be worked on for more than one day, it will be parked overnight in the garage, and we do have limited space. If you have any roof storage units or bike racks, it can be difficult for us to ensure that there is enough space in the garage as well as lifting up your car safely. We will update you on the status of your vehicle throughout the process to keep you informed and ready for pick up!
Preventive Maintenance
Oil Changes:
We recommend doing an oil change every 5,000 miles to keep your vehicle’s engine running smoothly. Every oil change, we do a full vehicle inspection. We will check your air filters, fluid levels, brakes, components underneath the car, and make sure that there are no leaks or broken parts that could lead to safety issues. We also inflate & rotate tires, and top off your wiper fluid! At the end of your service we will provide you with a filled out inspection sheet you can keep for your records.
100k Mile Hybrid Vehicle Tune-Ups:
Performing regular preventative maintenance is the key to improving the longevity of your vehicle. Especially with hybrids, the condition of the transmission fluid and coolant is very important. Most hybrids have either 2 or 3 different cooling systems, servicing the engine and your hybrid’s inverter. During our 100k tune-ups, we will replace spark plugs, PCV valve & hose, flush & replace transmission fluid, and replace coolant in both the engine and inverter reservoirs. We usually try to time this service around an oil change, but if you’ve recently had one done, no worries!
Transmission Fluid Service:
For hybrid vehicles, we recommend replacing the transmission fluid every 50,000 miles. The transmission in a hybrid vehicle is a critical component and works extra hard compared to most normal gas vehicles, so keeping fresh debri-free fluid in there is very important, and your vehicle will thank you for it!
A/C Recharge:
Over the years, we can naturally expect our A/C systems to slow down and produce less cool air. We will happily recharge your A/C system if this seems to be the problem! We have a machine that will service most vehicles, and during each recharge it will test the system to ensure that there are no leaks present.
