Keeping up with routine maintenance is essential, no matter what kind of car you drive. It keeps your vehicle running smoothly and helps to prevent smaller issues from turning into major ones. Hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles need regular service, just like any other car, but servicing these types of vehicles may feel a bit different from servicing a traditional gas-powered vehicle.
How to Service a Hybrid Vehicle
Servicing a hybrid vehicle like the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid here at our Hyundai service center serving Newark, DE and Wilmington, DE is, for the most part, the same as servicing a traditional vehicle. They still need oil changes, tire rotations, brake service, and other routine maintenance items to keep things running smoothly, just like their non-hybrid counterparts.
So, if you're accustomed to servicing a traditional vehicle, you aren't likely to run into surprises when it comes to servicing your hybrid vehicle. The main difference is the electric motor.
How to Service an Electric Vehicle
EVs like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Hyundai IONIQ 6 also need regular maintenance, but models with fully electric powertrains need less attention in some key areas. They lack an internal combustion engine, which is the part of a vehicle that tends to need the most service. Thus, electric vehicles are a little easier to maintain. Still, they require typical routine maintenance items like tire rotations and brake pad replacements. You just won't have to worry about things like oil changes as you navigate your service needs in Middletown, DE.
