Unlike traditional vehicles where owners were able to do much of the routine maintenance themselves in their own home garage.

Hybrid cars on the other hand are a whole different story and many do it yourselfers are better to let experienced and trained professionals take a look at their vehicles. Often mishandling of the Hybrid car's engine components can lead to serious if not fatal accidents.
