Hybrid Vehicle Preventative Maintenance

• Engine oil and filter replacement
  • Reduces operating costs through longer engine life.
• Oil system cleaning
  • Removes deposits from oil passage ways reducing blockage and ensuring proper engine lubrication.
• Multi point inspection
  • Inspect for leaks, check fluid levels, inspect belt(s)
• Tire rotation / brake inspection
  • Improves tire wear and safety.
• Engine air and cabin air filter replacement
  • Helps both gas engine and passengers breathe easy.
  • Cabin filters are important to replace regularly for passengers with allergies.
• Auxiliary battery testing
  • Catch weak starting batteries before they fail, highly recommended every 30k miles on 7 to 10-year-old vehicles.
• Super long-life engine coolant replacement
  • Prevents freezing / overheating, lubricates water pump and prevents corrosion.
• Hybrid inverter coolant replacement - includes air purge
  • Prevents freezing / overheating, lubricates water pump and prevents corrosion.
• Hybrid transaxle fluid exchange
  • Prevents breakdowns and extends transaxle life.
• Brake fluid exchange - includes system bleed
  • Removes air and moisture accumulation from hydraulic system and keeps brake pedal firm while preventing corrosion and prolonging life of system components.
• Spark plug replacement and ignition coil inspection
  • Improves performance and ensures proper operation
• Throttle system cleaning - including mass air flow meter cleaning
  • Helps maintain proper idle and smooth acceleration
• Injection system cleaning
  • Removes carbon from injectors restoring performance and maximizing fuel economy
• Induction system cleaning
  • Decarbonization of air side of gas engine, cleans intake and carbon from valves reducing blow by, improving efficiency
• Emission system cleaning
  • Removes deposits from exhaust side of gas engine prolonging life of catalytic converter and components required for federal emissions.
• Brake caliper lubrication and service
  • Includes cleaning and lubrication of caliper slide pins and moving parts, application of disk brake quiet to backing plate of brake pads and contact points to reduce noise causing vibration and prevent premature caliper failure
• Rear brake (shoe) clean and adjust
  • Maximizes braking efficiency and safety
• Emergency brake adjustment
  • Maintains position on uneven surface ensuring safety
• Brake pad replacement / rotor replacement
  • Increases safety through improved reliable brake system performance.
• A/C performance test
  • Includes testing temperature at vents and lubrication of compressor depending on design (based on results evacuation and recharge with pressure testing may be required)
• A/C evacuation and recharge
  • Including testing high and low side pressures and checking for leaks – injection of ultra violet dye to locate very small leaks as needed
• Tire replacement
  • Via local tire retail partnerships
