Yes. Hybrid vehicles contain high-voltage components, so technicians carrying out certain repairs or maintenance need the appropriate training, knowledge and competence to work safely around these systems.
At D&G Autocare, our technicians are appropriately trained to work safely on hybrid vehicles and understand the procedures required when working with high-voltage components.
There is no specific business certification required under Scots law simply for an independent garage to work on hybrid vehicles.
However, recognised technician training, competence and safe working procedures are important when carrying out work involving high-voltage hybrid systems.
Working safely on hybrid vehicles requires appropriate equipment as well as technician training.
Our specialist equipment and safety measures include:
These measures help our technicians work safely around the high-voltage systems found in hybrid vehicles.
Yes. Hybrid vehicles still contain a petrol engine and many conventional mechanical components, alongside an electric motor, battery and high-voltage electrical systems.
Regular servicing helps ensure both the conventional and hybrid elements of the vehicle are inspected and maintained correctly.
Yes. Hybrid vehicles combine traditional mechanical systems with high-voltage electrical technology, so appropriate training, equipment and safe working procedures are important.
Using a garage with hybrid experience helps ensure the vehicle is maintained with the correct precautions and equipment in place.
Hybrid vehicles can involve additional checks because they combine a conventional petrol engine with electrical and battery systems.
This does not necessarily mean maintenance is significantly more complicated, but technicians need to understand both systems and how they work together.
Whether you need an MOT, routine servicing or replacement tyres, we can help keep your EV or hybrid performing at its best.
