Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Servicing & Repairs

Modern hybrid and electric vehicles require specialised knowledge, training and equipment to service correctly. At Tom’s Autos, we provide professional servicing, diagnostics and repairs for hybrid (HV) and electric (EV) vehicles across the Wairarapa.

Our workshop is equipped to work on a wide range of hybrid and electric vehicles, with a qualified Level 5 EV Automotive Engineering technician on our team.

From routine servicing and fault diagnosis through to high-voltage system repairs and battery replacement, we’re committed to helping keep your vehicle performing safely, efficiently and reliably.

Whether you drive a Toyota Hybrid, Lexus, Nissan Leaf, Tesla, European EV or another hybrid or electric vehicle, our team can assist with ongoing maintenance and repair requirements.

Hybrid & EV Servicing

Hybrid and electric vehicles still require regular servicing and maintenance to ensure long-term reliability and performance.

While EVs have fewer moving parts than traditional petrol or diesel vehicles, they still rely on many critical systems that require inspection and maintenance over time.

Our hybrid and EV servicing can include:

Hybrid and EV system diagnostics
High-voltage system inspections
Battery health testing
Cooling system servicing
Brake servicing and maintenance
Steering and suspension repairs
Tyres and wheel alignments
Air conditioning servicing
Software scanning and fault diagnosis
General mechanical repairs and maintenance

Routine servicing helps identify potential issues early and ensures your vehicle continues operating safely and efficiently.

Hybrid Battery Replacement & Repairs

We also provide hybrid battery testing, repairs and replacement solutions. Hybrid batteries naturally degrade over time, which can lead to reduced fuel economy, lower battery performance and warning lights appearing on the dashboard.

Common signs of battery deterioration can include:

Reduced fuel efficiency
Increased engine running time
Erratic battery charging
Reduced performance or acceleration
Hybrid warning lights
Poor battery range or capacity

Our experienced team can carry out testing and diagnostics to assess battery condition and recommend suitable repair or replacement options.

Quality Re-Manufactured Hybrid Batteries

We work with specialist partners who use advanced diagnostic and battery rebuilding equipment to test and remanufacture hybrid batteries to a high standard. Each battery pack is carefully balanced, tested and assembled by trained hybrid technicians using quality-tested cell modules.

Benefits of re-manufactured batteries include:

More affordable than new genuine batteries
Thoroughly tested for reliability
Reduced environmental impact through component reuse
Improved battery performance and longevity
Warranty-backed peace of mind

We can also assist with replacement and repairs of:

HV inverters
Hybrid transmissions
Control modules (ECUs)
Other high-voltage system components

Qualified Hybrid & EV Specialists

Hybrid and electric vehicles require specialist training and safe handling procedures when working with high-voltage systems. Our qualified Level 5 EV Automotive Engineering technician has undertaken advanced training in hybrid and electric vehicle technology, allowing us to confidently diagnose, service and repair modern EV and hybrid vehicles.

At Tom’s Autos, we continue to invest in modern diagnostic equipment and training to support the growing number of hybrid and electric vehicles on New Zealand roads.

Whether your vehicle requires routine servicing, diagnostics, repairs or battery replacement, you can trust our team to provide professional advice and quality workmanship.
