Preventive Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is a key for any vehicle Hybrid & EV are not different…

I will give you some things to keep in mind when you have these types of cars:

•Certified Technician (Hybrid/Electric)

•Maintenance schedule for your car

•A Good Warranty

Here are a couple things You’ll Need to know or have in mind:

1. When buying your hybrid or EV, pay attention to the warranty, especially for the battery. Dealers like Honda and Toyota General Motors, which lead the way in hybrid sales in, offer eight- and 10-year warranties on their batteries, respectively.  The batteries can cost more than $3,000, so it’s important to pay attention to the battery’s performance while you own the car.
2. Adhere to a regular maintenance schedule. The cost of regular maintenance to a hybrid such as oil changes, tire rotation, tune-ups, and air filters  are no different than that of a non-hybrid vehicle, in a lot of cases please refer to a qualified technician for that type of recommendation.
3. When you do need a mechanic, consider taking it back to the dealership you  bought it from, or a qualified dealer or independent shop that sells and services that make and  model. Hybrids or EV are a new technology and it may be smarter to take the car to someone who is qualified and that you know is certified in that field of repair.
4. Just as with a non-hybrid vehicle, hybrid & EV owners should watch their driving habits to reduce wear and tear. Two of the most important factors for hybrids  are engine wear and break wear, which is reduced by the hybrid’s or EV technology.
5. Watch your hybrid in cold weather. The battery operates optimally in warmer weather. Give your battery time to warm up when it’s cold outside so it can reach its optimum temperature before departing. Doing so will also extend the battery’s life.
