Repair

The most common signs are a hybrid warning light on the dashboard, noticeable loss of power, significantly reduced electric range, poor fuel economy or the car entering reduced performance mode. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, the first step is a proper diagnostic assessment — not a parts replacement. Book a diagnostic with Vitronix and we’ll identify the exact fault before recommending any repair.

In the majority of cases — yes. Most hybrid battery faults are caused by a small number of degraded cells or modules rather than a complete battery failure. At Vitronix we carry out a full cell-level analysis before recommending any repair — and in most cases targeted cell or module replacement restores the battery to full performance at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. We will always recommend the most cost-effective solution that genuinely solves the problem.

In most cases customers save between 60-75% compared to a main dealer replacement quote. The exact saving depends on the vehicle make, model and the nature of the fault. Rather than quoting a price before we’ve assessed the vehicle, we carry out a full diagnostic first — so you receive an accurate, honest quote based on what actually needs to be done rather than a worst-case estimate.

Most hybrid battery repairs are completed within 1-3 days depending on the vehicle and the nature of the fault. We understand that being without your car is an inconvenience — which is why we work efficiently to return your vehicle as quickly as possible without compromising on the quality of the repair.

Yes — all hybrid battery repairs carried out by Vitronix come with a 12-month warranty. We stand behind our work completely and are confident in the quality of every repair we carry out.

Yes — always. In our experience, full battery replacement is frequently recommended when targeted cell or module repair would fully resolve the fault at significantly lower cost. Vitronix offers an independent diagnostic assessment — we’ll tell you honestly what the vehicle needs and what it doesn’t

Yes — Vitronix works on both hybrid and full electric vehicles. From battery diagnostics and cell repair to electric motor fault diagnosis and repair, we have the equipment and expertise to handle complex EV faults that most garages in Ireland are not equipped to address.

In many cases yes. As our Audi e-tron case study demonstrates, what appears to be a failed electric motor is often a fault with the motor’s inverter, position sensor or control system rather than the motor itself. Accurate diagnosis is everything — and at Vitronix we always identify the precise fault before recommending any repair or replacement.

A standard car alarm relies on a single layer of protection — a siren that sounds when triggered. Pandora systems use multiple layers simultaneously — immobilisation, encrypted GSM communication, GPS positioning, motion sensing and smartphone integration — making them virtually impossible to bypass using the methods modern thieves rely on.

No — Pandora systems are designed to integrate with your vehicle’s existing electronics without affecting manufacturer warranty. As an authorised installer, Vitronix ensures every system is fitted to the highest professional standard using approved methods and components.

Most Pandora installations are completed within a single day. The exact time depends on your vehicle type and the specific system being installed. We’ll confirm the expected installation time when you book.

Yes — booking is required before visiting Vitronix for all repair and installation services. This allows us to prepare properly for your vehicle and ensure we can give it the time and attention it deserves. You can book easily through our online booking system or by contacting us directly.

For most repairs we recommend a diagnostic assessment first — this ensures you receive an accurate quote based on the actual fault rather than a general estimate. For security system installations we can provide a quote based on your vehicle make, model and the system you require. Contact us and we’ll advise you on the best approach.
