Hybrid & EV Service by Certified Technicians
Professional hybrid & ev service. ASE-certified technicians, 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty.
Choose a location & bookThe number of hybrid and electric vehicles on roads is growing rapidly — and these vehicles require specialized knowledge that most traditional shops don't have. At Vertical Automotive, we service all hybrid and EV platforms including Toyota Prius and RAV4 Hybrid, Honda CR-V Hybrid, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, Hyundai Ioniq, and Kia EV6 (for Tesla-specific service, see our dedicated Tesla & EV page). Our ASE-certified technicians are trained in high-voltage safety procedures, regenerative braking systems, hybrid battery diagnostics, and the unique maintenance requirements of electric powertrains. Hybrid and EV maintenance differs significantly from conventional vehicles — regenerative braking means brake pads last longer but calipers need regular service, coolant systems are more complex with multiple circuits, and 12V auxiliary batteries require monitoring. Every hybrid and EV service is backed by our 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hybrid or EV service cost?
At Vertical Automotive, common hybrid/EV services include: brake caliper clean and lube, coolant system service, 12V battery replacement, and complete diagnostic scan. Hybrid battery diagnostics and service vary by vehicle. Contact your preferred shop for a specific quote.
Do hybrid vehicles need oil changes?
Yes, hybrids with gasoline engines still need regular oil changes. We follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific hybrid model. The cost depends on your vehicle and the work needed. We provide a written estimate after diagnosis.
Can you diagnose hybrid battery problems?
Yes — we can diagnose hybrid battery health, individual cell condition, and charging system performance. Not all hybrid battery issues require full replacement — sometimes individual cells or modules can be addressed. We'll give you an honest assessment of your battery's condition and all available options.
