Hybrid Cars, Complex Systems: How Our Workshop Keeps Yours Running Smoothly

You don’t need a dealership to take care of your hybrid—just the right knowledge, tools, and a team you can trust.

Hybrid vehicles are becoming more popular every year—and it’s easy to see why. They’re quiet, fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly, offering a smooth driving experience for city streets and coastal cruising alike.

But when it comes to servicing, hybrids aren’t like regular petrol cars. And not every workshop is equipped to look after them properly.
At Auto Care Ocean Grove, we are.

Why Hybrid Servicing Is Different

Hybrid vehicles combine a traditional petrol engine with one or more electric motors and a high-voltage battery. These systems work together to reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions, and often recharge themselves as you drive.
But this also means your hybrid has:

  • Two drivetrains working in sync
  • Advanced cooling systems
  • Regenerative braking technology
  • Electronic control modules and software integration

Each of these requires specialised knowledge and the right diagnostic tools to service safely and effectively.

We’ve Got the Tools and the Training

At Auto Care Ocean Grove, we’ve invested in the latest hybrid servicing technology, and our technicians stay up to date with training on hybrid vehicle systems and safety procedures.
We’re equipped to handle:

  • High-voltage battery safety checks
  • System diagnostics for electric motor and petrol engine integration
  • Regenerative braking inspection and service
  • Hybrid cooling system maintenance
  • Cabin filters and air conditioning system checks

Whether you drive a Toyota Prius, RAV4 Hybrid, Hyundai Ioniq, or a plug-in hybrid, you can trust that your car is in the hands of experienced professionals.

No, You Don’t Have to Go to the Dealer

A common myth is that you need to return to the dealership to service your hybrid or protect your warranty. That’s no longer the case.
As a Repco Authorised Service centre, we follow your manufacturer’s servicing schedule, use quality parts, and stamp your logbook—so your statutory warranty stays valid.

All delivered with the down-to-earth care of a local, family-friendly workshop.
