Hybrid Repair in Omaha, Nebraska

We Are Professionally Certified to Service All Hybrid Models

The first hybrid car was the Toyota Prius, and it debuted in the late 1990s. Shortly after, the Honda Insight made its way onto the scene. Over the years, more and more hybrids were created as an effort to improve fuel economy and lower emissions, and today, it is an incredibly popular alternative to the traditional vehicle. By “traditional vehicle,” we mean gas-powered vehicles, which come equipped with an internal combustion engine (ICE) that requires gasoline to run. Hybrid vehicles also utilize an ICE, in addition to an electric motor and a battery. Just like a traditional vehicle, a hybrid takes gasoline, but the fuel economy is significantly better because the electric motor provides a percentage of the vehicle power. The electric motor is powered by the battery, which receives its juice through regenerative braking and the engine. Because of the unique design and performance of a hybrid vehicle, it’s important to visit an auto shop that is experienced and trained specifically in hybrid repair and hybrid service. We’re proud to fill that shoe here at Mad Hatter Auto Repair in Omaha, Nebraska.

Common Hybrid Car Problems

Hybrids may seem simple on paper, but they are a lot more complex in reality. To better understand any potential problems you may experience as a hybrid vehicle owner, it’s important to be mindful of some of the most common issues that warrant hybrid repair found in these vehicles. One is battery complications. Hybrid batteries are more vulnerable than a traditional vehicle’s battery, which means they may require replacement earlier. A surefire sign is more trips to the pump—once the battery starts failing, your vehicle will start to rely on the engine solely for its power. Oxygen sensors can become faulty, the catalytic converter can fail, and the evaporative emission system can produce a leak or fail; in other words, a lot of problems a standard vehicle may experience can also be experienced in a hybrid car. Any change in driving dynamics should be addressed in a timely manner to prevent further problems from developing or current ones worsening. When it comes to hybrid issues, rest assured our ASE-certified technicians can help with any type of professional hybrid repair!
