Hyundai vehicles have undergone vast changes over the decades – from the economical Hyundai Excel (have you seen the 2-pack commercial for the Excel that aired in the 1988?), to the super-modern and stylish hybrids we see every day around Berkeley. Oceanworks offers complete Hyundai vehicle maintenance services and repairs – including Hyundai Hybrids.
Hyundai has expanded its hybrid offer to include passenger cars like Elantra or Sonata hybrids, as well as SUVs – Palisade, Santa Fe and Tucson. Elantra hybrid rivals Toyota Prius when it comes to fuel efficiency, while the Palisade hybrid offers 500+ mile combined range.
All vehicles require regular service – and hybrids are no exception – as a matter of fact, you can expect some additional work – like high voltage battery replacement (typically after 150,000 – 200,000 miles), as well as occasional cleaning around the fan that cools the hybrid battery. Your Hyundai Hybrid will also benefit from hybrid clutch actuator fluid flush. On the positive side, you will make fewer shop visits for brake pads replacement, as Hyundai hybrids are equipped with advanced regenerative braking system that not only recovers some of the energy used to propel the vehicle, but also lessens wear on the brake pads and the rotors – hence less frequent brake pad and brake rotor replacements. One additional repair that may be needed at some point is the inverter electric water pump replacement – if the electric water pump fails, the inverter can overheat and will also, most likely, need to be replaced.
