Hybrid Car Servicing

Servicing your hybrid VW, Seat, Skoda or Audi is a vital part of its regular maintenance. As a Volkswagen Group specialist based in Derby, Sunset VW’s dedicated team can help.

Our skilled and experienced team has decades of combined experience working on cars in the Volkswagen Group. Hybrid vehicles are no exception. Like all others, they need a periodic service to continue to function. If it’s time for your hybrid car’s service, you can trust us to do a quick, efficient and cost-effective job.

What is hybrid servicing?

Servicing your VW, Skoda, Audi or Seat hybrid is crucial. Like a standard service, our VW-trained technicians inspect the car, checking the condition of every visible component. These include the tyres, brakes, suspension, exhaust, lights, under-bonnet fluids, windscreen wipers and more. We’ll also change the oil and oil filter and replace the air and cabin filter.

But hybrid cars come with an extra interlinked power source: the high-voltage battery. This – and its charging system (which varies depending on the hybrid type) – are also examined during a service.

We’ll proceed as usual with the included service part replacements (such as filters) and note down any faults we find. A member of our team will then contact you to discuss our findings and provide any relevant quotes to get your hybrid vehicle back to its best.

Why hybrid servicing is so important

Driving a hybrid car comes with many benefits, particularly for people living in or commuting to the city. 

With better fuel economy and fewer environmental emissions, you’re doing your bit for the planet (and your bank account).

Like any vehicle, though, a hybrid needs to be serviced. Without this, it’ll deteriorate and lead to severe depreciation or an accident. 

In almost every case, finding a problem early (through an inspection like this) saves you an awful lot of money in the long run.

This is a great garage who know what they are taking about.
The staff and owners are all approachable and very helpful with what ever your needs are. I usually speak to Mat and he keeps me right with what the car needs.
They are also independent garages to Audi, VW and Skoda. So it doesn’t effect your warranty and they use original parts.
The prices are reasonable also and very competitive compared to main dealer prices.
The only comment I would say that they could improve on is that it would be nice if they could have washed the car after a service. But do understand costs etc and time.
I have been coming here for 7 years now and can’t fault them at all.
