PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Today’s hybrid vehicle maintenance is all about having the right technology, factory scan tools and experienced hybrid technicians with the skills to interpret data on your hybrid’s Onboard Diagnostic System properly.  Most auto repair shops don’t have the technology or ability to perform dealership quality diagnostics, maintenance or repairs on your hybrid vehicle.  Dealerships have the technology and expertise, but they charge a fortune and nobody likes getting upsold constantly.

There are only a handful of independent hybrid repair facilities in Southern California, excluding dealerships, with the diagnostic technology, factory scan tools, ASE Certified Technicians and experience who can diagnose, maintain and repair your hybrid quickly, properly and cost-effectively the first time and every time.

Electron Automotive is One of Them!

Southern California hybrid owners have trusted Electron Automotive to diagnose, maintain and repair their hybrid vehicles since 2010.  Preventive maintenance is a big reason why most of our customers enjoy years of carefree driving, high performance and higher than normal resale value.   It’s a great long-term investment that helps you avoid unforeseen, inconvenient and expensive repairs.

We’ve Earned Our Customer’s Trust Each Day Over the Last 12 Years 

Customers trust Electron to identify and repair problems in the most expedient, professional and cost-effective manner possible.  Electron’s ASE Certified Hybrid Technicians use the latest cutting edge diagnostic technology and factory scan tools to accurately scan, test and diagnose all systems in your hybrid vehicle.  Factory scan tools gives us the same access to information that dealerships have, but our advanced diagnostic technology is what really separates Electron from other hybrid repair facilities.

Our diagnostic technology was developed exclusively for Electron Automotive by our founder, an award winning electrical engineer and hybrid technology pioneer.  Our proprietary technology, along with everything else that we have to offer, has made Electron Automotive the Southland’s  #1 Dealership Alternative for Hybrid Repairs, Maintenance and Diagnostics.

Scheduling preventive maintenance services based on time or mileage benchmarks works for most services, but nobody knows your car better than you.  Hybrid vehicles  making strange, weird or repetitive sounds,  as well as unusual smells when you’re driving, are early warning signs of trouble.  Addressing them in the early stages will save you time, money and lots of frustration.  We’ve seen it all over the last 12 years and preventive maintenance, whether scheduled based on time/mileage benchmarks or by fixing small issues before they become large problems, has paid big dividends for our customers.

Statistics show that it’s significantly less expensive to maintain the health, performance and useful life of your hybrid vehicle through regular preventive maintenance than it is to pay for major repairs that could have been avoided altogether.  As ASE Certified Hybrid technicians, we know how to treat your hybrid vehicles and an ounce of preventive maintenance is worth more than a pound of major hybrid repairs.

Another solid benefit of preventive maintenance is higher hybrid resale value and stronger consumer demand.  Today’s consumers are holding onto their hybrid vehicles longer than they used to and the demand for used hybrid’s is near an all-time high.  Buyers looking to purchase used hybrids have more confidence in vehicles with full service records because they’ve been well maintained and are much less likely to break down or require expensive major repairs than poorly maintained vehicles.  Consumers have historically paid premium prices for hybrids in immaculate condition and full service histories to prove it.

Electron Automotive has helped hybrid vehicle owners throughout the Southland make better, more cost-effective and informed hybrid maintenance and repair decisions since 2010.
