What this service includes
- Hybrid A/C performance and leak testing
- Non-conductive POE oil service
- High-voltage compressor protection checks
Many shops do not realize that hybrid air conditioning is different from a regular car. Hybrid systems use an electrically driven compressor that requires special non-conductive POE oil. Using ordinary A/C oil can cause an expensive, even dangerous, high-voltage failure.
We diagnose weak cooling and leaks, then recharge your hybrid A/C with the correct hybrid-spec oil and procedures, protecting your compressor and getting cold air back. This applies to the Prius and every other hybrid we service.
If any of these sound familiar, give us a call. Checking is free, and catching a problem early usually saves money.
Call us or send a few details online: a warning light, a noise, lower gas mileage, or a dealership quote you want a second opinion on. There is no charge to ask.
We inspect and test your vehicle to find the real problem first. Then we explain it in plain English and give you a clear, written price before any work begins.
Nothing happens until you say yes. We do the repair right, back it with a warranty, and get you safely back on the road, usually for far less than the dealer.
We are hybrid specialists, so we work on the Toyota Prius every day. But we also service almost every other hybrid on the road, including Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, and more. And we are a full-service shop, so we also take care of regular (non-hybrid) gas cars, trucks, and SUVs for brakes, oil changes, air conditioning, batteries, and everyday repairs.
