Are Hybrid Repair Costs Higher?

Does it cost more to maintain a hybrid car than a conventional gasoline- fueled car? Hybrid repair costs are not higher or lower. Normally, routine maintenance and minor repairs are about the same on any vehicle. In fact, hybrid repairs may actually be lower. However, if something goes wrong with a hybrid battery it can be costly. Consequently, you’ll want to be aware of the manufacturer’s warranty.

Since a hybrid vehicle costs more than a gas vehicle you may wonder if you actually save money on gas. In general, gas prices get higher over time not lower. As a result, you can expect to pay more each year in gas. Of course, how long you usually keep your cars will make a difference too. Additionally, if you put on a lot of miles each year you may see a big savings with a hybrid or electric vehicle.

Maintenance costs shouldn't be a concern if you are trying to decide if a hybrid vehicle is worth buying. Hybrid vehicles have a gas engine that needs the same maintenance as any other car. Naturally, our ASE Certified Technicians are well trained on the service and repair of hybrid vehicles. For that reason, you won’t need to go to the dealership for expensive Hybrid Repairs.

Sometimes, maintenance costs on a hybrid car can be lower than on a regular car. In some hybrid vehicles the gas engine shuts down when the car is idling. Plus, at other times, such as driving at low speeds the electric motor takes over. As a result, there’s less wear and tear on the engine. Naturally, that will result in fewer hybrid repairs. Of course, we will review the service recommendations in your owner’s manual and advise you about scheduled maintenance.

Here’s another hybrid money saver. The hybrid’s regenerative braking system and the lower heat involved means that brake pads and brakes tend to last much longer.

Hybrid Service and Repairs

With most hybrid cars, no special regular maintenance is needed on the hybrid system.

There is, however, always the possibility that some part of the special hybrid system, most often the large battery pack, will fail. Hybrids sold today usually have warranties on the hybrid system that are good for eight years/100,000 miles. However, once the warranty is over the cost of replacing the hybrid battery can be anywhere from a few thousand dollars to well over $10,000.00 dollars. Keep this in mind when you are thinking about selling your Hybrid vehicle.
