Hi everyone.

I have just completed two Hybrid Vehicles training courses and now have an IMI qualification in Hybrid vehicles. I got 90% in my exam so I am rather pleased with myself!

I am sure that Hybrid cars are the future and then full electric when the battery technology gets better. I am interested in this technology and thought I better get trained up on it. I have bought an E300 Hybrid to learn on and had it 3 months now and done 10k in it. I am very impressed with it.

The futre for PCS will include hybrid vehicles. We want to be the first specialist to be able to work on these cars safely and be able to fix them easily. I have ordered all the necessary specilaist tools and equipment too.

Our website will be updated in the next few months to show what we can do.

Congratulations Olly, see you on Tuesday.
 
Well done.

Not only building your business but also looking forward and positively to help future customers!
 
Congratulations are well deserved!
A fascinating but complex subject, and I agree, whilst not welcomed by everyone - this is the future.

Now, about my 918...
 
Well done Olly, you know it makes sense ;)
 
Congratulations to you and it will be great for those who have these cars.

I was lucky enough to have an E300 for a couple of trouble free years but I know others did have the odd issue.

They are great cars and the kick in the back from them when you boot the car is pretty awesome.

Well done Olly
 
Hi Olly where are you based ??
 
Congrats Olly - you boffin ;) Good move getting knowledge and qualifications up on these models.
 
Great to hear. One day this year I might buy a hybrid E or S……. I just need to find someone who has got one and can tell me why I should, rather than a SWB diesel S350
 
Thank goodness!

I thought someone had been trying matter transfer - like Jeff Goldbloom in “The Fly” :doh:

Part Mechanic part orangutan….. useful when you need an extra hand….:rock:

Olly - this is clearly the way to go, and I've found myself not able to find an independent to be able to recommend to our customers who has the hybrid knowledge more than once !! - So we're very very pleased you've made this investment in skills and equipment - I'm sure its very significant amount of time and money. And better still, I assume by the time EQC/EQA/etc come out of warranty in a year or two you'll be the leader in that field too !!
