Compare Mitsubishi hybrid car service quotes from specialist garages

Mitsubishi's automotive division was founded in 1970, but it produced its first vehicle way before that. In 1917, the shipbuilding division created the Model A, intended as a luxury car for officials. It was the first series-production vehicle in Japan and paved the way for the Debonair, a four-door executive sedan introduced in 1964.

A breakthrough happened for the company in 1976 when it developed Silent Shaft engine technology to reduce vibrations. This technology was so successful that it was licensed to other brands, including Porsche and Fiat.

Since then, Mitsubishi has continued to push boundaries. Its 2011 Outlander ad campaign beat no less than five world records, including the greatest distance driven by a vehicle in reverse on snow in 30 seconds.

Hybrid car servicing intervals are almost identical to regular internal combustion engine vehicles. You should book a full service once a year.

Can any garage service hybrid cars? This question is common among drivers. As you might expect regarding hybrid vs petrol engine maintenance, there is a crossover between the two. Any mechanic can carry out a service on the engine, but you'll need to find a technician with specialist skills to look after the electric components involved in a hybrid car service.

Similarly, hybrid battery diagnostic testing, hybrid battery health check and hybrid car battery replacement will all need to be completed by a mechanic with the right training. Read our ultimate guide to hybrid cars to learn more about ownership and maintenance.
