Hybrid & EV Service
Now more than ever, with petrol prices soaring to unprecedented heights, it’s never been more attractive to own vehicles that utilise alternative power sources like Hybrids and EV's. These vehicles offer the double benefit of reducing your carbon footprint while significantly cutting down on your fuel expenditure.
When selecting a Service Centre for your Hybrid or Electric Vehicle, be sure to choose one that employs trained technicians with the necessary knowledge and access to the latest diagnostic information. To service electric vehicles safely, technicians require special safety equipment such as insulated tools and personal protective equipment (PPE). Fleurieu Automotive, a Repco Authorised Service Centre, utilises Repco AutoTech for updated training and superior Repco parts and lubricants.
Hybrid Car Servicing
Hybrid vehicles require both standard and special maintenance services to be kept in peak performance. Traditional service items like brakes, cabin air filters, shock absorbers and fluids should all be monitored on a regular basis, as well as steering and suspension systems. Spark plugs, tires, wiper blades, lights, air and fuel filters must be regularly checked and replaced as necessary. Fewer electric motor components need to be serviced according to the vehicle's schedule. The 12-volt battery must also be assessed and changed as needed for optimal operation.
Electric Vehicle Servicing
Servicing Electric Vehicles presents a unique set of challenges, mainly due to the high voltage they carry. Safety is paramount in the world of vehicle servicing, and with electric vehicles, the stakes are higher. Any inadvertent error during the maintenance can lead to potentially dangerous electrical shocks. Therefore, the importance of professional, well-trained technicians equipped with the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) cannot be emphasised enough. We also manage Software updates and Diagnosing electrical faults, essential for an EV’s intricate computer systems. Maintain EV-specific components like the inverter, motor and on-board charger. Plus regular checks on the battery’s state of health and capacity.
