Source: 2015 CarMD Vehicle Health Index - CarMD CarMD found that while some hybrid repairs have increased, the more expensive repairs continue to drop in price as hybrid part availability and technicians trained to service hybrids grow. Hybrids accounted for only one of the top 10 most expensive repairs in 2014 as opposed to three the previous year. For the fifth consecutive year, the cost to “replace hybrid inverter assembly” trended down dropping as much as 50 percent from $2,800 in 2013 to $1,350 in 2014. The average cost to replace a hybrid battery was up 11 percent in 2014 from $3,140 in 2013 to $3,479 in 2014. Well once again, our 2001-03 Prius are at the leading edge. Bob Wilson
