What we work on
Battery, high-voltage and the everyday stuff, under one roof.
Hybrid battery testing and reconditioning
We test every module, then tell you if your battery needs a balance, a few new modules, or a full pack.
Request thisEV battery health report
A plain report on your EV battery: health, balance, cooling and charging. Good before you buy used.
Request thisHigh-voltage system diagnostics
Warning lights, no-start, or a car that will not charge. We find the cause with the right tools and safety gear.
Request thisRegenerative brake service
Regen does most of the stopping, so brakes rust from too little use. We clean, lube and test them.
Request thisCoolant and thermal system service
Batteries and inverters have their own cooling. We test, flush and bleed it with the right coolant.
Request thisTires for EVs
EVs are heavy and quick off the line, so tires wear faster. We fit the right load rating and keep them rotated.
Request this
The battery health check
What we measure, and what you take home.
State of health
How much your battery holds now, compared with when it was new.
Cell balance
Whether every cell or module charges evenly. One weak one drags the rest down.
Cooling
Fans, ducts and coolant. Heat is what ages a battery fastest.
Charging and safety
A charging test and an isolation check of the high-voltage wiring.

EV myths, and the facts
The five things we hear most at the counter.
- MythEV batteries wear out in a few years.
- Fact
Most last well past 100,000 miles. Makers back the high-voltage battery for at least 8 years or 100,000 miles.
- MythOnly the dealer can work on a hybrid or EV.
- Fact
A trained independent shop with the right tools can. And servicing here does not void your factory warranty.
- MythEVs need no maintenance.
- Fact
Less, not none. Tires, brakes, brake fluid, coolant, filters and suspension still need care.
- MythA weak hybrid battery means buying a new one.
- Fact
Often only a few modules are weak. Testing shows whether a recondition or a module swap will do.
- MythAny tire will do on an EV.
- Fact
EVs are heavier and quicker off the line. The right load rating lasts longer and can add range.

Questions we hear every week
Something else? Call and ask. It is free.
Do you work on regular gas cars too?
Yes. Oil changes, brakes, tires and repairs on gas and diesel cars, SUVs and light trucks. Bring the whole driveway.
Will servicing here affect my factory warranty?
No. Federal law lets you service your car at any shop without losing the warranty, as long as the work is done to schedule. We keep the records for you. Recall work still goes to the dealer, and we will tell you when.
How long does a battery health check take?
Plan on about an hour for most cars. You can wait in the lounge or drop it off.
Is my old hybrid worth fixing?
Often, yes. We test the battery first and give you the options with prices, from reconditioning to a new pack, so you can decide.
Can you install a home charger?
We do not do home electrical work. We help you pick the right charger and refer you to licensed electricians we trust.
Is it safe to work on high-voltage systems?
Yes, when it is done right. Our techs power the system down, check it is dead and use insulated tools rated for the job.
