Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Kingswood - wheel chair accessible

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.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles or PHEVs

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.

Can you perform Log Book Servicing for Hybrid Cars?

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.

Engine oil and filter change: This should typically be done every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, depending on whichever comes first.

Tyre rotation: Tyres should be rotated at every service to ensure even tyre wear. 

Brake inspection and servicing: Brakes should be checked at every service to ensure they're functioning correctly.

Battery testing: Car batteries should be checked regularly, especially before long trips, to prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Transmission servicing: It's important to regularly check and change the transmission fluid, particularly for automatic vehicles.

Coolant change: Over time, the coolant can degrade and should be replaced to prevent overheating.

Spark plug replacement: Worn spark plugs can affect engine performance and fuel economy. 

Air filter replacement: This should typically be done every service to maintain good airflow and engine performance.

Belts and hoses check: Over time, belts and hoses can wear and may need replacing. 

Windscreen wiper replacement: Windscreen wipers should be replaced as soon as they start to streak to ensure clear visibility during rain.

Light checks: All lights should be checked to make sure they are functioning correctly.

Just like with any modern vehicle, you need to choose the right workshop with qualified, trained technicians who have access to up to the minute diagnostic information, the right equipment and quality parts to service your hybrid vehicle. As your local independently owned and operated Repco Authorised Service centre Mitcham Auto Tune & Service have access to Repco AutoTech for the very latest in training and information, quality Repco parts and lubricants. All our parts meet OEM requirements and will not void your warranty.

Remember that service schedules can vary depending on the vehicle make, model and year. Always check your vehicle's manual for specific maintenance guidelines.

Hybrid vehicles Log Book Servicing in Mitcham, SA

What is Hybrid Car Servicing in Kingswood

Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently to prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could otherwise be very costly to repair.

Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer, which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Mitcham Auto Tune & Service can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book.

 Here are some examples of what can be included;
