Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Service
Hybrids and EVs need less maintenance than gas cars, not none. Our team holds ASE xEV high-voltage electrical safety certification, so we know where the line is between safe service and what needs specialist equipment.
What we handle on-site
- 12-volt battery testing and replacement
- Brake service and caliper maintenance
- Cabin air filters and wipers
- Coolant service for battery and inverter loops (where specified)
- Hybrid system warning light diagnosis
- Tire pressure and TPMS service
- Suspension and steering inspection
- Pre-purchase health checks for used hybrids and EVs
Signs it's time to call
- A hybrid system or EV warning on the dash
- The vehicle won't go into Ready mode
- Reduced electric range or engine running more than usual
- Brakes that feel rough after long periods of regen
The 12-volt battery still matters
Many hybrids and EVs that "won't turn on" have a weak 12-volt battery, not a high-voltage problem. It's one of the most common calls, and an easy on-site fix.
Brakes rust when you don't use them
Regenerative braking means the friction brakes do less work, and in humid South Carolina weather, calipers and slide pins can corrode from lack of use. Periodic brake service keeps them working when you need them.
Hybrid & EV: common questions
Can a mobile mechanic work on an EV?
Yes, for most maintenance and many repairs: 12-volt systems, brakes, suspension, cooling, filters and diagnostics. High-voltage battery pack repair requires specialist facilities.
Is your team trained for high-voltage safety?
Yes. Our team includes ASE xEV High-Voltage Electrical Safety certification.
My hybrid won't start. Is the big battery dead?
Often it's the 12-volt battery. We test that first.
