At Mitcham Auto Tune & Service in Kingswood, we've seen an increasing presence of hybrid electric vehicles on Adelaide roads, albeit predominantly in a select few models.
We anticipate that this trend will gain momentum as more and more vehicle manufacturers commit to transitioning from petrol and diesel car production to creating electric and hybrid models. This switch is largely motivated by the need to meet emission targets and abide by government regulations that are restricting or even prohibiting the use of traditional combustion engines globally. We understand these trends and are prepared to adapt to better serve our clients.
A hybrid vehicle, is a car that uses more than one form of onboard energy to achieve propulsion. In practical terms, it generally means that the vehicle combines a petrol or diesel engine with an electric motor to move the car. These vehicles are known as hybrids because they combine an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. Our team of mechanics in Kingswood have been specially trained to service and repair these types of vehicles.
Yes, hybrid cars do need servicing. Like any other vehicle, routine maintenance and servicing is crucial to extend the lifespan and maintain the efficiency of hybrid vehicles.
Absolutely, Mitcham Auto Tune & Service we are fully qualified to maintain your log book schedule during your warranty period without voiding the warranty.
With essentially two engines in one, Mitcham Auto Tune & Service in Kingswood, ensure your hybrid car receives comprehensive servicing. This includes all the regular checks for brakes, cabin air filters, shock absorbers, and essential fluids like driveline oils, brake fluid, and coolant.
In addition, we also monitor the steering and suspension systems, spark plugs, tyres, wiper blades, lights, air and fuel filters, replacing any of these items as needed.
Due to the unique nature of a hybrid car, servicing also extends to electric motor components and these parts need to be regularly examined and replaced according to the maintenance schedule. Given the key role of the 12-volt battery in a hybrid car, we make it a priority to regularly inspect and replace this component as necessary.
