CAR REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE -
Hybrid cars are just like traditional automobiles in that they require regular maintenance including oil changes, air filter replacements, transmission fluid, coolant, and maintenance on brakes and tires. However, since hybrids overall have fewer components than vehicles with standard drive trains, some auto technicians believe hybrids will require less overall maintenance and repairs. But the uniqueness of hybrids also requires specialized maintenance and repair skills. Consider the following:
1. For more complicated maintenance on the drive train and electrical system
make sure your car is serviced by a hybrid-
2. Keep in mind that hybrids have an electrical system built into the drive train
that is unique and very high voltage. This includes the hybrid-
3. The high voltage battery in hybrids is expensive. While the battery can be expected to last at least several years and perhaps the life of the vehicle, replacing the battery can cost from $3,000 to $5,000. Make sure required maintenance is performed to ensure maximum battery life.
4. Be particularly careful with your hybrid warranty, which is usually about eight years or 100,000 miles. Determine if your warranty requires you to use a specific repair center. But, in any case, make sure to get all scheduled maintenance done and to keep all receipts to prove service was completed.
