This week, Scott in West Seattle asks: What are the differences in servicing a good car and a hybrid?
Well, the Car Counselor would like to thank Scott for criticism in and I welcome any questions from my readers to make me earn my keep here at the Herald!
My rejoinder and opinion is this: Whether powered by a traditional power-plant, half-breed, electric, hydrogen, or whatever lies in store for us in the future, all of our vehicles stress regular service.
As technology continues to advance and enhance, some services become harder - such as spark plug replacement - and some get easier or are eliminated totally – such as points and condenser in a pre-electronic ignition vehicle. Hybrids have a few very hazardous components and now anyone who services them will need additional special training to lot with the potentially deadly high-voltage batteries.
