Driving a hybrid in Berkeley is cost-effective and environmentally friendly, but like any vehicle, your hybrid requires regular maintenance, as well as attention to some additional systems that are not present when driving a gasoline-only powered vehicle. At Oceanworks Berkeley our nationally ASE-certified technicians can provide your hybrid with comprehensive maintenance services, diagnostics, and repairs.
Many hybrids, like Toyota Prius, are super reliable, but even Prius needs regular maintenance. Oil changes, brake fluid replacement, brake pads replacement – they will need to be performed at regular intervals. Hybrid-specific work also has its own intervals – some maybe more frequent, like the famous Prius high voltage battery cooling fan issue – it can get clogged with pet hair, and so may need regular cleaning, or hybrid battery replacement. Others, like the Honda Hybrid inverter issues, are non-scheduled, fix-when-it-brakes items (though with the inverter, regularly cleaning cooling vents can help).
With the proliferation of hybrids, you need an auto repair shop that stays on the cutting edge of the technology (and we do - if you happen to also own a Tesla, we can keep it happy and healthy as well). Our technician are equipped with state-of-the-art digital diagnostic tools, and undergo training to keep abreast of the new technical developments. Our family owned and operated Berkeley auto repair facility offers everything your hybrid may need, and all repairs are backed by a 24 month / 24,000 mile warranty. So instead of looking for a random “hybrid repair shop near me”, call Oceanworks – a Berkeley tradition. You can also make an appointment on our website, if you find online scheduling more convenient.
