Hybrid Service & Maintenance

in Rochester, NY

When it comes to servicing your hybrid vehicle, look no further than Browncroft Garage! We have technicians who are well trained and have the necessary experience needed to service your hybrid.

Hybrid services done at Browncroft Garage include:

• Hybrid Battery Testing: Hybrid battery tests are similar to that of regular batteries however they involve multiple battery areas and a NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) core

• Hybrid Battery Repair: Battery repair and reconditioning include taking the battery pack and NiMH core out to check the health of the battery. Then, the battery is put through a complete discharge and recharge process to increase the energy output and cell capacity. During this phase, any failing components or cells can be identified and replaced as necessary. Other parts of the battery system are also checked to ensure they are operating properly.

• Hybrid Diagnostics & Service: We will test your whole battery system to figure out if your battery system is okay or needs to be replaced.

• Hybrid Battery Replacement: If replacement is necessary, a new battery carrier mounting system, air temperature sensors, bus bars, battery controller, pre-charge system, current sensor, contactors/relays, and new battery modules will be installed.



• Hybrid Brakes: Popular brands like Tesla recommend cleaning and lubricating your brakes yearly. We recommend this on all hybrid/EV vehicles as well, especially in our climate. Salt and water can sit in the calipers, and because of regenerative braking, they never get hot enough to boil away the water/salt mix, causing corrosion. Corrosion can cause brake pads to get stuck, meaning you may only have half of your braking force available. This could be extremely dangerous in an emergency situation as it is the difference between being able to stop in time or hitting something.
