Not all hybrid vehicles are the same. 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 in hybrid vehicle systems, it's important that you visit someone who knows your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu from bumper to bumper. We'll help your hybrid run newer, longer. Your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care location is ready to offer low voltage and conventional services for all hybrid vehicles, including Chevrolet Malibus.

Certain stores also provide high voltage services. A high voltage service is any service that includes removing the Chevrolet'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 ensure your closest location offers high voltage services. Some of these high voltage vehicle services may include:

Hybrid vehicle diagnostic: Once we identify the symptoms, a diagnostic comes next so we can identify the root cause of your Chevrolet Malibu's troubles. a diagnostic is performed to get to the bottom of the trouble with your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu. With the information gathered, your technician can solve your hybrid car problems or determine if any more tests need to be performed. We won't perform any repairs without your approval.

Hybrid high voltage battery cooling system inspections: Your technician will closely examine your Chevrolet Malibu's battery filter (if applicable), and then clean its ducts. (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 Chevrolet Malibu 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: 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 Chevrolet Malibu's high voltage battery a goner? 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 Chevrolet Malibu.
