Welcome to Sil’s Auto Care Centre, Oakville’s trusted name in hybrid battery service. Our team understands the importance of your hybrid vehicle’s unique needs, especially when it comes to the delicate balance between its electric engine and internal combustion engine.

Do Hybrid Batteries Need to Be Serviced?

Absolutely! Just like any other key component of your vehicle, hybrid batteries require regular maintenance to function at their best. These batteries are complex units, working alongside both electric and gas-powered engines to provide you with efficient and eco-friendly transportation. Regular hybrid service is crucial to ensure their longevity and prevent future problems.

Comprehensive Hybrid Battery Service at Sil’s Auto Care Centre

Our expert technicians at Sil’s Auto Care Centre offer a range of services to keep your hybrid battery in top condition:

Hybrid Battery Testing: We conduct thorough diagnostics to ensure your hybrid battery is performing optimally.

Battery Cell Inspection: We examine each battery cell for signs of wear or damage, addressing issues before they escalate.

Battery Refurbish: To extend the life of your battery, we offer battery refurbishing services, restoring its efficiency.

Cooling System Service: We also inspect and service the cooling system to prevent overheating, a common issue with hybrid batteries.

The Lifespan of Hybrid Batteries

How long your battery lasts depends on various factors, including the make and model of your vehicle. For instance, a Toyota Prius is renowned for its long-lasting hybrid battery, often lasting between 160,000 to 240,000 kilometres. Regular maintenance and timely repair at Sil’s Auto Care Centre can significantly extend the lifespan of your hybrid battery.

What Damages Hybrid Batteries?

Several factors can lead to hybrid battery damage:

Extreme Temperatures: Both very hot and cold conditions can negatively impact battery performance.

Infrequent Use: Prolonged periods of inactivity can cause battery degradation.

Improper Charging Habits: Both overcharging and deep discharging can harm the battery cells.

Aging and Wear: Over time and with regular use, hybrid batteries naturally deteriorate.

Why Choose Sil’s Auto Care Centre for Your Hybrid Battery Needs?

At Sil’s Auto Care Centre, we are dedicated to providing top-notch hybrid battery replacement and repair services. Our team is equipped with the knowledge and tools to handle high-voltage systems safely. We believe in offering quality hybrid maintenance and repair services to keep your hybrid vehicle running smoothly.

The Importance of Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your hybrid battery, and as a result, your entire hybrid car, in top shape. This involves a few essential steps:

Regular Check-Ups: Just like you visit the doctor for your health, your hybrid car needs regular check-ups to ensure everything is working correctly. These check-ups help catch any potential issues early, preventing them from becoming bigger, more expensive problems.

Proper Battery Conditioning: Your hybrid’s battery is like the heart of the car – it needs to be in good condition to keep everything running smoothly. Proper battery conditioning involves checking the battery’s charge levels, ensuring it’s neither overcharged nor undercharged. This balance is crucial for extending the battery’s life and maintaining its efficiency.

Promptly Addressing Issues: If an issue is detected during a check-up or in your daily use, addressing it quickly is vital. Ignoring small problems can lead to more significant issues down the road, which could be more costly and time-consuming to fix.

At Sil’s Auto Care Centre, we understand these aspects of hybrid maintenance deeply. Our comprehensive hybrid service is designed to cover all these areas, ensuring your hybrid car remains reliable, efficient, and ready to take you wherever you need to go.

Prompt and excellent service and the staff are very easy to deal with.

It's all good to me after they were done.
Samuel Fabok Jan 1, 2025

Have had a few opportunities to visit Sils in last year and all have been very good. We all know things go wrong with vehicles at times, and are simply seeking honest, timely and fair service, from professionals. And that’s what I have experienced at Sils each time. Even when things go awry, they step up and address the issue head on. Carlos actually stepped in to assist with a TPMS sensor issue I was having and helped resolve it quickly, and fully explained to me the issues and potential vulnerabilities with my TPMS system for my vehicle, so can better understand it, and how to manage it myself when possible. Thanks to the team- Susan, Tommy, John and Carlo for helping me out this past week, and looking forward to future support and service from the Sils Team.

The people at Sil’s Auto are very professional and courteous. The report I received on my car was complete with photos and explanations. I recommend this company for car maintenance services

I highly recommend Sil’s for both you and your vehicle. Tommy and Susan are outstanding service advisors—consistently friendly, attentive, clear, and helpful. The owner, Carlos, exemplifies dedication; a few days before Christmas, my car had to be towed in, and despite how busy they were, he personally returned my after-hours message. They worked to ensure my car was back on the road before the holidays. The team at Sil’s consistently delivers high-quality work at competitive prices, paired with excellent customer service. They truly go above and beyond whenever possible. I fully trust Carlos and the entire Sil’s team!
