HYBRID AUTO REPAIR
Gasoline-electric cars are increasingly appearing on our roads. The reason is clearly superior efficiency to classic internal combustion engines. However, they also require competent repairs and related maintenance.
Hybrid models should only be serviced at certified centers equipped with the correct equipment. This should be done by specialists who have been trained in the principles of servicing cars of this type. Our service guarantees you:
- saving time - our professionals work as quickly as possible
- saving money - the work of our masters does not have to be redone
Repair specifics
Hybrid vehicles have earned their well-deserved popularity in both the primary and secondary markets. Users do not notice noticeable fuel economy, but the dynamics and comfort of hybrids do their job, leaving them popular among a certain circle of motorists.
The main advantage of gasoline-electric cars became at the same time the main disadvantage: »The classic ICE added all the features of the operation of electric motors, batteries and built-in electronics, which synchronizes the operation of a dual-fuel system.
Hybrids have a very specific part – an inverter, which is responsible for converting direct current from high-voltage batteries into a three-phase and its subsequent supply to the motor-generator. This device consists of many parts: modules, a cooling system, a blocking unit for power circuits in an emergency.
Comprehensive diagnostics can only be carried out by a qualified technician.

Hybrids are different
Under the typical definition of “hybrid” there are often absolutely different models in terms of technical implementation, not to mention the difference in certain brands.
First and foremost: the first violin is still played by the classic fuel engine. Nothing unexpected will follow: permanent replacement of high-quality oils, filters, indispensable cleaning of the fuel system and constant preventive maintenance of the gas distribution system. The main cause of failures is precisely the malfunctions of the fuel equipment, as a result of which the load on the electronics increases, which, in turn, is overloaded in an attempt to compensate for the hitch in work.
An equally important feature is the operation of the cooling system, which provides for a separated cooling system, which includes a fan and which requires constant monitoring.
Also, the braking system remains a vulnerable node, with the participation of which energy is recovered. This means that the motor generators start braking, then the front brakes come into play, and only then the rear brakes. This is both an advantage – the service life of pads and discs increases 3-4 times, and a disadvantage – the calipers are prone to souring, which is why you constantly need to carry out preventive work.
Speaking about the gearbox, we can say with confidence that almost all hybrids use e-CVT, or electric variators. True, such a box can be called a variator at a stretch: in fact, it is a complex in which a planetary transmission is combined with special electric motors, with the help of which the sun gear changes the rotation speed.There are no gears and a torque converter in it, and couplings, bearings and bushings are prone to breakdown; only in rare cases can a problem overtake the differential.
Mechanical damage in this case is a convincing reason to replace the transmission with a contract one, since its repair does not pay off.
As for the battery, there are several nuances. Its structure itself implies that even under ideal operating conditions, the capacity decreases, the cells undergo destruction, and the contacts undergo oxidation, as a result of which the BC issues a Check hybrid system error.
Regardless of how it is arranged the battery of a particular model – twin cylinders or rechargeable cartridges – all of them, as a rule, are nickel-metal hydride cells. Immediately after diagnostics, we remove the battery and connect it to the test bench, on which, after loading and measuring the current level, damaged elements are determined.
The main problem is that damage comes from already damaged cells to ” healthy “according to the domino principle. Conclusion – in no case can you start the problem, otherwise, in addition to the danger of breakdown, the car faces expensive repairs.
As a result, when choosing a hybrid, it is very important to take into account all the features of the propulsion system and the nuances of battery operation. For the rest, our highly qualified specialists and high-quality equipment will help you.
Hybrid car maintenance
The main requirements for a service that can undertake the repair of a gasoline-electric car is special equipment and qualified personnel who are familiar with all the nuances of working with such equipment. Otherwise, the quality suffers, and it becomes difficult to talk about any guarantees.
Our service has special stands, thanks to which we can test cars in various operating modes. The result is that even the smallest bugs and malfunctions will be guaranteed to be detected and fixed.
Also, the masters of our service are constantly improving their qualifications and improving their professional skills, which allow them to give a reasonable and fact-based guarantee of the operation of the repaired modules.
