Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Service

Local Hybrid & EV Service

Own a hybrid or electric vehicle in Sylvan Lake? You don't have to drive to Red Deer or Calgary for service. We work on hybrids and EVs—maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs.

These vehicles have some different systems, but they still need brakes, tires, suspension, cooling system service, and regular maintenance. We have the training and equipment to work on them safely and correctly.

What We Service

Hybrids and EVs still need regular maintenance

Brakes

Regenerative braking means pads last longer, but they still wear. Brake fluid still needs attention.

Tires

Many hybrids/EVs are heavier and benefit from specific tires. We can advise on the best options.

Suspension & Steering

Same components as any vehicle, same wear patterns. We service it all.

Cooling Systems

Hybrids and EVs have cooling systems for batteries and inverters. They need inspection and maintenance.

12V Battery

Every hybrid and EV still has a 12V battery for accessories. They fail just like any other.

Fluid Services

Transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant. Less frequent on some EVs, but still required.

Diagnostics & Repairs

Beyond regular maintenance, we also handle:

Battery health monitoring — Check your hybrid/EV battery condition
Check engine / hybrid system warning lights — Proper diagnosis, not guessing
Charging system issues — When your EV isn't charging properly
High-voltage system diagnostics — With proper safety equipment
Software and module updates — Keep systems current

Proper Training

Our technicians are trained on hybrid/EV systems

Safety Equipment

Right Diagnosis

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hybrid and EV service

Do hybrids need oil changes?

Hybrids with gas engines still need oil changes—just like any gas vehicle. Full-electric vehicles don't have engine oil, but they have other fluids that need service.

How often should I have my hybrid battery checked?

Once a year is a good baseline, or if you notice reduced range or performance. We can check battery health as part of regular service.

Are EV brakes different?

Regenerative braking does most of the work, so brake pads typically last much longer. But they still wear, and brake fluid still degrades. Don't skip brake inspections entirely.

Can you work on Tesla?

We can handle maintenance items—brakes, tires, suspension, 12V battery. Some Tesla-specific systems require their service network, but for general maintenance, we can help.

Do I need special tires for my EV?

EVs are often heavier and have instant torque. Low rolling-resistance tires designed for EVs can improve range and handle the weight. We can recommend options.
