Every hybrid vehicle is different. Some are named "hybrids" because they rely on battery power to propel or assist in propelling the vehicle. A hybrid vehicle might plug-in to charge, and some hybrids have regenerative braking. Some hybrids even come equipped with a conventional 12-volt battery and a high-voltage battery. With so many differences in hybrid vehicle systems, it's important that you visit someone who knows your 2018 BMW i3 from bumper to bumper. We've got you covered. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to provide conventional and low voltage services for all hybrid vehicles, including your 2018 BMW i3.

Select locations also provide high voltage services. A high voltage service is one that involves removing the BMW's high voltage safety/service disconnect plug/switch, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Call before scheduling an appointment to ensure your closest location offers high voltage services.

With the details gathered, your technician can assess your hybrid car problems and perform additional tests, if needed. We won't perform any repairs without your approval.

Hybrid high voltage battery cooling system inspections: The technician will examine your i3's battery filter (if applicable) and clean up its ducts and other pieces. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries.  Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection: The technician will inspect the exterior of the cable jackets and connectors on your 2018 i3 and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement.

Isolation test: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

Remove and replace hybrid electric battery: Is the high voltage battery inside your BMW i3 failing or weak? Let us install a new one.

Health check for power electronic systems: We'll examine the power inverter, regenerative braking, and/or electric drive motor(s)/machine(s) in your 2018 BMW i3.
