ELECTRIC VEHICLES & HYBRIDS
Spokane, WA
Post Falls, ID
Golden Rule Brake makes it a priority to provide you with honest services at a fair price, no matter the vehicle you drive. We can service both hybrids and electric vehicles in our three locations in Spokane, WA, and in Post Falls, ID.
If you are driving a hybrid or an electric vehicle (EV), regular front end inspections are very important. Due to the build and working parts of EVs, they can be 10% to 20% heavier than regular internal combustion engine cars. This puts extra weight on the tires and the front-end parts.
Because of the additional stress, experts recommend that EV drivers get their suspension system and alignment checked every 6 months. While regenerative brakes are built to last a long time (70,000 to 100,000 for most), some of their components can get worn out due to road conditions – schedule a yearly check to ensure your brakes are in a working order.

While most hybrids and EVs have brakes pads that can last a long time (70,000 to 100,000 for most), there are other parts of the braking system that can get worn or loosened due to the additional stress caused by the increased weight. If you feel or hear something unusual when braking, it’s best to have the brakes inspected. Ensuring that your regenerative brakes are in a working order can help increase the distance you drive for a single charge. For your peace of mind, a yearly inspection can help ensure that your braking system is working properly.
We can perform all the services we offer on both electric vehicles and hybrids.
I had always wanted a Tesla and I knew I could never really afford one at my age. So, what I did is convince my parents to buy a wrecked one from the insurance yard and over a couple months I rebuilt the car in my garage.
So, after I had an alignment issue, I took it to Golden Rule Brake and they did it for me, and did a fantastic job. At first, I messaged Tesla through their mobile app, and they said that an alignment will be $300, and I was like, that’s something I don’t want to spend that much money on, and so I called Golden Rule Brake, the Francis location. They were the only shop besides Tesla that would do an alignment on the car.
I would recommend Golden Rule almost to anybody I know. Their prices are great, their service is great and its someone I can trust and I really believe that they have amazing service and they always do a great job
