ELECTRIC AND HYBRID VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

BRAKE SERVICES, OIL CHANGES, AND TIRE MAINTENANCE

For hybrid vehicles: Hybrids typically use both electric high-voltage battery power and have an internal combustion engine. Just like with traditional vehicles, hybrids need routine oil changes. Make sure to check your owner's manual, the Driver Information Center on the dash, or ask a Tire’s Plus professional if you’re unsure. At Tire Plus, we provide the oil services you need to increase the longevity of your engine.

For EVs and hybrid vehicles: EVs and hybrid cars require many of the same services as traditional vehicles. At Tires Plus we can help with:

• Brake services that include brake inspections, brake fluid exchanges, brake system clean and lube, brake pad or shoe installations and more. Keep in mind EVs using regenerative brakes may have unique maintenance intervals. We recommend getting your brakes checked every year or as suggested by the manufacturer.
• Wheel alignment services including inspections of your suspension system, plus cameras and sensors that are part of your Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. We recommend having your alignment checked every 6,000 miles.
• There are even more ways we can maintain your vehicle, from heating and cooling services to tire rotations. When you make an appointment, our friendly technicians can walk you through the specific services your vehicle needs.

MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

• General check-up on your EV or hybrid vehicle’s overall health

• Inspection of battery voltage and assessment of the battery condition
• Inspection of HV power electronics and HV battery coolant levels—coolant is essential for managing heat produced by some HV batteries
• Inspection of high-voltage battery cooling system
• Electric motor replacement
• High-voltage battery replacement
• High-voltage A/C compressor replacement
• Power inverter and DC to DC converter diagnostics and repair
