Some hybrid models have both a high-voltage battery and a conventional 12-volt battery.

High voltage cable inspection: Your technician will look closely at the outside connectors and cable jackets on your Buick LaCrosse and test to confirm that high voltage isn't making its way to the chassis. They'll notify you if a new cable is needed.

Isolation test: For this test, a technician uses a special tool to see if any high voltage parts are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

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