Why a Hybrid Pre-Purchase Inspection Matters

A hybrid battery replacement can cost $2,000–$4,000+. Knowing battery health before buying saves you from unexpected costs that could turn your "great deal" into a money pit.

💰

Avoid Costly Surprises

Many used hybrids look great on the outside but have degraded batteries hiding thousands in future repair costs.

🔋

Battery Life Estimate

We can tell you the remaining battery life estimate so you know exactly what you're getting into.

🔍

Catch Hidden Issues

We catch issues that general mechanics miss: inverter coolant problems, HV isolation faults, battery cooling failures.

Our detailed report with repair cost estimates gives you leverage to negotiate a fair price or walk away.
