What is the difference between car servicing and Hybrid servicing?

While hybrid vehicles share many similarities with traditional gasoline-powered cars, there are several key differences that require specialised attention during servicing

• Dual power sources: Hybrid cars feature both a gasoline engine and an electric motor, each requiring its own maintenance regimen. Our technicians are trained to inspect and service both power sources to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.

• Battery maintenance: Hybrid vehicles are equipped with high-voltage battery packs that store energy for the electric motor. Proper battery maintenance is essential to maximize battery life and preserve performance. Our technicians have the expertise to diagnose battery issues and perform necessary repairs or replacements.

• Regenerative braking system: Hybrid cars utilise regenerative braking technology to capture and store energy during braking, which is then used to recharge the battery. Servicing the regenerative braking system requires specialised knowledge and equipment to ensure proper function and efficiency.

• Complex electronics: Hybrid vehicles feature sophisticated electronic systems that control the interaction between the gasoline engine, electric motor, and battery. Our technicians are equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and training to troubleshoot and repair electronic issues effectively.
