What hybrids still need
- Oil changes: the gasoline engine runs less but still needs oil on schedule.
- Brakes: regenerative braking saves the pads, but rarely used brakes can corrode and stick, so they still need inspections.
- The 12-volt battery: when it dies, a hybrid will not start, just like a regular car.
- Cooling: hybrids have extra cooling for the inverter and battery.
High-voltage battery replacement
The shop replaces hybrid high-voltage batteries. Labor is roughly $600 and depends on how the battery has to be removed on your model; the battery itself is quoted separately, and you get the full price in writing before any work.

Why won't my hybrid start?
Often the 12-volt battery, which powers the electronics that start the hybrid system. The shop tests it first.
