Electric Vehicle EV Repair
When it comes to Electric Vehicle repairs, you definitely want to seek out a specialist. We are Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley’s only EV specialists and as such, we see the failures and quirks no one else does.
If you have Nissan LEAF, a Fiat 500E, a Smart ED, Toyota Rav4 EV, Tesla Model S, Volkswagen EGolf or other Electric Vehicle that needs repair, give us a call.
We have successfully repaired Nissan LEAF’s , Fiat 500E and Smart ED components that the new car dealers didn’t or wouldn’t fix and replaced components when everyone else wanted to replace whole batteries or assemblies, we also have offered used parts where the dealers will only install new.
We have been EV owners since 2016 and are involved in the EV community by attending and sponsoring the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Associations Electrafest as well as other regional events.
We participated as subject matter experts for BCIT’s pilot program they ran when creating their EV training program for Automotive Technicians.
We partner with leading companies from all over the world to extend the lifespan of the early EV’s and keep them on the road longer.
Investing in ourselves with training and diagnostic equipment and real world experience combines to make us the right choice if you have an EV that needs repair.
Hybrid Vehicle Repair
Although much of the technology in Hybrids is relatively new, they are still an automobile with a gasoline engine inside them. They still need oil changes, tire rotations, brake repairs and the regular scheduled maintenance services all other cars need.
At Precision Auto we do realize that there are some very specialized components in your Hybrid vehicle as well. For this reason we have invested more time in Hybrid training that any other independent repair shop in Langley. Our technicians and management have attended training from specialists from California and keep in close contact with Canada’s technical experts in the Hybrid field. We also have the Toyota Techstream, Honda HDS, Ford IDS and GM GDS2 factory diagnostic systems.
We are also the first repair shop in western Canada to invest in hybrid battery reconditioning equipment and training.
We are the only shop in Metro Vancouver that keeps replacement hybrid Civic and Prius batteries in stock for same day turnaround.
We have also invested in our own Hybrids, a 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, a 2012 Prius and a 2004 a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrids.
You can rest assured we will have the tools and training to keep abreast of hybrid and any other automotive technology that comes our way.

- Oil changes, spark plugs, filters and regular maintenance

Hybrid Battery Reconditioning
Which DTC Trouble Codes can battery reconditioning help resolve?
Toyota Prius
P3006
P3017
P3018
and others.
Before having your hybrid battery replaced, consider reconditioning. We offer Hybrid Automotive Prolong chargers and reconditioning exclusively to Metro Vancouver and British Columbia.
We offer hybrid battery reconditioning for most models, and it typically will cost about one quarter to one third what a new battery pack will.
We remove the battery pack from the car, test and replace any bad cells and then discharge and recharge the battery pack to equalize or balance the battery cells and install it back in your vehicle. We also install a wiring harness into the battery to enable future charging without battery removal.
This price includes battery balancing for the life of your car as long as it is performed every six months. This free service every six months will extend the warranty to the full two years.
If at any time during the next two years the battery fails we will credit the labour cost (usually around half of the overall reconditioning cost) towards buying a new original Equipment battery (we have found off the shelf rebuilt batteries other than original equipment to have very poor life expectancy and seldom recommend their use). We have found most people find this plan to be a cost effective alternative to buying a new battery from the new car dealer.

We are in discussion with Fenix Power, EV’s Enhanced and Simon André electric vehicles as well as investigating other option as they come along.
