We provide expert brake, suspension, and wheel alignment services for all hybrid and electric vehicles. EVs and hybrids are heavier due to high-voltage batteries, which puts extra stress on brakes, suspension, and tires, making regular inspections essential. Our technicians check and repair regenerative and friction brakes, shocks, struts, and alignment to ensure safe handling, even tire wear, and smooth performance. Proper maintenance improves ride quality, steering accuracy, and efficiency, helping your vehicle perform reliably on every drive.
Teslas and other EVs carry heavy high-voltage batteries, which put extra stress on shocks, struts, and brakes. Over time, this can cause a bouncy ride, uneven tire wear, clunking noises, or reduced braking performance. Even small issues in suspension components can affect handling, comfort, and safety, making regular inspections critical for your EV.
Our technicians perform a thorough suspension and brake inspection, checking shock absorbers, strut mounts, bushings, brake components, and wheel alignment. We also test the vehicle under real-world conditions to identify noises, vibrations, or handling issues. After diagnosing the problem, we provide a precise, honest recommendation on what needs replacement or adjustment so you can restore smooth, safe, and predictable performance – no guesswork, just clear guidance.

“Adam is an excellent Prius expert in maintenance, hybrid battery and he fixed my dash light when it was out. This is the only place I take my Prius 2006 for service for the last 5 years and I am very satisfied and recommend Adam for his professionalism and honesty. He’s the best!!“
“I drove to The Byers Eye clinic from Marin. I came out to the parking lot & my ‘06 Prius won’t go over 20 mph. I learned from Prius Hybrid that this “limp mode” occurs when the main battery cells start failing. The repair team were able to install a refurbished battery & get me home before end of day! And the cost was much less expensive than it would have been in Marin! Couldn’t ask for a better Father’s Day gift. Peter”
