Essential Hybrid Auto Repair and Maintenance for Your Toyota or Lexus

May 15, 2024

As we transition from winter to spring, the road conditions change drastically. The winter season causes a lot of wear and tear on our roads, leaving behind thousands of new potholes that can damage our vehicles' suspension system. Your car's suspension system plays a crucial role in ensuring your safety and providing you with a smooth ride. It's important to inspect and replace your shocks and struts, especially after a harsh winter, to keep your vehicle running smoothly and avoid any potential safety hazards.

As hybrid vehicle owners know, proper maintenance is key to getting the best performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity out of your hybrid car. At Auto Tech Automotive, we specialize in hybrid auto repair for Toyota and Lexus models to keep your vehicle running smoothly. 


While hybrids have many similarities to regular gas vehicles when it comes to maintenance, there are some unique areas that require special care and expertise. Our trained technicians stay up-to-date on all manufacturer recommendations for servicing the hybrid battery pack, electric motors, regenerative braking system, and other hybrid-specific components.


In addition to the hybrid systems, we provide comprehensive maintenance and repair services for all areas of your Toyota or Lexus hybrid:

Brakes: Proper brake maintenance is critical for safety and brake life on any vehicle. We can inspect, repair or replace brake pads, rotors, calipers and brake fluid as needed.


Coolant System: Maintaining your coolant system helps prevent overheating. We flush the coolant, inspect hoses and components, and refill with the correct type of coolant.


Suspension: Whether you need basic shocks/struts or more advanced suspension work, keeping this system in top shape provides a smoother, safer ride.


HVAC: From basic cabin filter replacements to AC repair, we ensure your heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems work reliably.

Oil Changes: Using the correct grade of oil and changing it per the maintenance schedule maximizes performance, fuel economy and longevity.


Wipers & Air Filters: Don't overlook these simple but important maintenance items - let us replace wiper blades and engine/cabin air filters as needed.


Advanced Diagnostics: Our equipment can identify any trouble codes and issues in the hybrid battery, electric motors, charging systems and more.


Whether you need basic maintenance like an oil change or more comprehensive hybrid auto repair, Auto Tech Automotive has the expertise to properly service your Toyota or Lexus hybrid.
