Hybrid service
What is a hybrid service
Servicing a hybrid vehicle requires a slightly different approach to servicing traditional petrol and diesel-powered vehicles. This is due to the high-voltage batteries that work alongside the engine to power the vehicle. Hybrid vehicles also have more of a variety of parts than gasoline or diesel powered vehicles. This means that mechanics have to take extra care when examining the vehicle.

When should you get your hybrid vehicle serviced
