Are you considering purchasing a New Honda Accord Hybrid in Buena Park but wondering if it will be more difficult or costly to maintain compared to the standard gasoline-powered Accord? At Buena Park Honda we're here to ensure you have confidence when you take your new Accord Hybrid home.
Oil Changes for the Accord Hybrid
One common question about hybrid vehicles is whether they require oil changes more frequently or if the oil is more expensive. The good news is that the Accord Hybrid has similar oil change intervals to the standard Accord. You can expect to change the oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions. The cost of the oil itself is also comparable to what you would pay for a regular Accord.
Servicing Your Accord Hybrid
Drivers in Orange County might also be wondering if you'll need to find a specialized hybrid technician to service your Accord Hybrid. While it's true that hybrid vehicles have some unique components, such as the battery pack and electric motor, the maintenance schedule is generally the same as a non-hybrid vehicle. The technicians at Buena Park Honda are trained to work on both standard and hybrid Accords, so you can feel confident bringing your vehicle to our dealership for maintenance and repairs.
Does Regenerative Braking Hurt Your Cars Brakes?
Another feature of the Accord Hybrid is the regenerative braking system, which helps to recharge the battery while you're driving around Cerritos and Long Beach. Regenerative braking actually helps to extend the life of your brake pads by reducing the amount of wear and tear they experience during normal driving. In many cases, Accord Hybrid owners find that their brake pads last longer than those on a standard Accord.
