Toyota Ireland has launched a new hybrid service programme for Toyota hybrid customers across Ireland.
The programme is designed to maintain hybrid vehicles to the highest standards and help them retain residual values, ensuring customers enjoy the full benefits of owning a hybrid. The programme has two main components, Hybrid health check and Hybrid battery extended care.
Hybrid health check
Hybrid health check is a five-step annual service undertaken by specialist Toyota hybrid technicians using unique tools and computer diagnostics to test the complete hybrid system. At the end of the process, the customer is presented with a detailed report by Toyota’s hybrid service advisor. It is the ideal way to ensure the hybrid system is operating as it should, alerting drivers of any issues and helping to maintain optimum performance.
Hybrid battery extended care
Toyota hybrid drive components are covered by a five-year or 100,000km manufacturer’s warranty (from date of registration ) as standard. Following a successful hybrid health check, customers will benefit from a further one year's (or 15,000km ) hybrid battery extended care cover.
Should an issue arise with the hybrid drive components, the cost of a repair is covered if the car has hybrid battery extended care cover. This cover can be renewed annually for up to 10 years from the first date of vehicle registration by completing another hybrid health check, giving customers the assurance that the hybrid components on their vehicles are operating to the manufacturer’s specification.
A Toyota hybrid health check is now included with any hybrid service which is priced at €160. If a Toyota hybrid is not due a service, a hybrid health check can be completed by a Toyota dealer/authorised repairer for €50 (all prices include VAT ).
Paul Murray, after sales director of Toyota Ireland, says: “The quality of after sales service is a major contributing factor to customer retention and brand loyalty and that’s why at Toyota our pioneering hybrid cars are matched by equally advanced servicing. The Toyota hybrid service programme provides the peace of mind that your car is being maintaining to the highest standards and that its long term value is being preserved.”
