Double Duty: Keeping Your Hybrid in Good Repair

Two Kinds of Power

As you know, your selection of a hybrid vehicle means that your vehicle actually has two sources of power–fuel/combustion and electric. Even though there are some modifications to each (such as a smaller engine), the reality is that you will need to maintain both. Fortunately, you can do this through a single hybrid repair provider, The Auto Experts in Sacramento, California. We’ve operated as a family-owned, local establishment since 1994, so we’ve been around as the hybrid industry came of age. That’s great news for you and your automobile. We’re nearby, just off I-80 (Elvas/Capital City Freeway) at 505 30th Street Sacramento, CA 95816. Schedule an appointment online or by phone at 916-447-2886. You can also simply drop by because walk-ins are always welcome.

A Deeper Dive into Maintenance and Repair

Although your hybrid’s internal combustion engine is a bit smaller than the one found in a traditional automobile, it still works using the same principles. Moreover, it still needs all the same preventive maintenance services and periodic repairs. It is susceptible to mechanical problems that require repair, as well. That means your hybrid indeed needs oil changes, tune-ups, fluid checks, and more. Additionally, it has a traditional battery (that’s separate from the electric power battery pack) that needs routine checks and maintenance. This battery will eventually need replacing just as if it were placed in an auto powered 100% by fuel. The other side of your system–the electrical power plant–also needs attention. It’s best practice to allow the battery pack to drain and then recharge. This facilitates holding a charge more efficiently. Eventually, however, this power bank will also need replacement. Typically, owners reach this point at the 7-10 year mark. Finally, your hybrid will also need the general care required for any vehicle. Important services and repairs are necessary for the braking system, tires, air conditioner, etc.
