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. And did you know? Some hybrid cars come with a traditional 12-volt battery along with a high-voltage battery. With so many differences between hybrid cars, trucks, and SUVs, your 2017 BMW i8 needs a professional who knows hybrids. We've got you covered. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to provide conventional and low voltage services for all hybrid makes and models, including your 2017 BMW i8.

Certain stores also provide high voltage services. A high voltage service is anything that requires 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 ahead of time to confirm the high voltage services at your closest location. Some of these high voltage vehicle services might include:

Hybrid vehicle diagnostic: Once we identify the symptoms, a diagnostic comes next so we can identify the root cause of your BMW i8's troubles. a diagnostic is performed to get to the bottom of the trouble with your 2017 BMW i8. 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 i8'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:  Your technician will look closely at the outside connectors and cable jackets on your 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: 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 your BMW i8's high voltage battery not as strong as it once was? We can replace it quickly.

Health check for power electronic systems: We'll review the power inverter, regenerative braking, and/or electric drive motor(s)/machine(s) in your 2017 BMW i8.
