Hybrid vehicles can vary — a lot. Some are called "hybrids" because they use battery power to propel or help propel the vehicle, some hybrids may or may not plug-in to charge, and some may or may not have regenerative braking. Some hybrids even come equipped with a conventional 12-volt battery and a high-voltage battery.

High voltage cable inspection: Your technician will visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your Buick Regal and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement.
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 your Buick Regal's high voltage battery not as strong as it once was? We can replace it quickly.
