There's a lot of variation between hybrid vehicles. Some hybrids plug-in to charge, some don't. Others have regenerative braking, but not all hybrid vehicles. And most use battery power to propel or help propel the vehicle. And did you know? Some hybrid cars come with a traditional 12-volt battery along with a high-voltage battery. With so much variation in hybrid vehicles, your 2014 BMW i8 needs someone who knows it inside and out. We've got you covered. Your neighborhood Firestone Complete Auto Care location is fully equipped to provide low voltage and conventional services for all hybrid vehicles, including BMW i8s.

Select locations also offer high voltage services.

Hybrid high voltage battery cooling system inspections: Your technician will inspect the i8's battery filter (if applicable) and clean the ducts of the battery. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection:  Your technician will look closely at the outside connectors and cable jackets on your 2014 BMW i8 and test to confirm that high voltage isn't making its way to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement.

Isolation test: This test involves using a special tool to check for any high voltage pieces that may be "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

Remove and replace hybrid electric battery: Is the high voltage battery inside your BMW i8 failing or weak? We can replace it quickly.

Health check for power electronic systems: We'll examine the power inverter, regenerative braking, and/or electric drive motor(s)/machine(s) in your 2014 BMW i8.
