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. Some hybrids even come equipped with a conventional 12-volt battery and a high-voltage battery. With so many differences between hybrid cars, trucks, and SUVs, your 2012 Toyota Prius needs a professional who knows hybrids. We'll help your hybrid run newer, longer. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to provide conventional and low voltage services for all hybrid vehicles, including your 2012 Toyota Prius.
