Hybrid Repair in Powhatan, VA

Common Problems with Hybrid Cars

Hybrid cars are innovative and designed with precision. However, they can encounter a lot of the same problems that gasoline-powered vehicles do. Common problems with hybrid vehicles include catalytic converter failure, oxygen sensor malfunction, and exhaust system complications. Of course, tire damage, worn spark plugs, worn brake pads, and similar items also occur. Hybrid battery failure is a common sore spot for hybrid owners, which is why we recommend routine inspections (at least once a year) that check the condition of the hybrid battery. If you notice fewer miles to the gallon, changes in engine output, charging problems, or strange noises or smells, consult our team for an inspection, diagnosis, and hybrid repair if needed!
