Am I being taken for a ride at the dealership?

Just follow the schedule set by the manufacturer. Yes you are being taken

 

Blower Motor - Do you typically carry animals that shed hair? If no, then decline. If yes then a good recommendation. $380 is really high. This is an easy DIY job.

Inverter Coolant Drain and Refill - good recommendation and $150 not bad. Another easy DIY job.

Transaxle drain and refill - good recommendation and $150 not bad price.

Brake fluid flush - I do not think this is necessary. Others on here will disagree with me.

 

All of the above are worth considering, well except "inverter system service": this is not the first mention here of that that, and no one has conclusively determined what the heck they mean by that. If it is indeed a inverter coolant change, it's way early for that.

Checking the "hybrid vehicle blower motor" is worth doing once in a while. It's something you can do yourself in an hour, with a ratchet wrench with extensions and 10mm and 12mm sockets, a few trim pry tools, a wet/dry vacuum (better if it can blow too), and a few brushes and q-tips. I believe @NutzAboutBolts has a video on it, pinned in the 3rd gen maintenance section. It'll take you about an hour tops, not hard, not worth $380 imho.

Brake system flush, for $120, I might tell them to go for it. Caution them to test drive and verify everything is ok, let them know you'll be on their case otherwise. But that's not a bad price, and it IS in the Canadian Prius schedule for one, as of 2014 it's every 3 years or 48,000 kms:



Just to be forewarned: the last time I had a brake fluid flush (recently, a Honda vehicle, at a Honda dealership), they lost half the bleed bolt caps, and managed to disable one of the rear brakes. After the service, the car was a menace. I recall trying to stop for a yellow light, ending up over the cross walk, the anti-lock braking going off like crazy. Took it back and raised hell.

Bottom line: it's worthwhile, the price is good, but it can be screwed up: be careful.

Again, @NutzAboutBolts has a video on this, same place. But for $120, as long as they don't screw it up, not bad. Do verify they re-install all the bleed bolt caps too, you can do this without raising the car.

The transmission fluid drain and fill is a good idea, even sooner too. A first drain around the one year mark is not crazy, then you can stretch the interval. $80 would be an decent price for this though, $100 max. Again, relatively easy DIY, @NutzAboutBolts has a video on it, same place. In the video they use a pump from below; I found a funnel and three foot of hose from above very cheap and effective.

I've done ours a couple of times, and I'm not even at your mileage, lol. The first time, at 1 year mark, the fluid was quite dark. Second time, at 3 year mark, the fluid still looked near-new.

You need to raise and level the car, drain the fluid, then run new fluid in till it starts coming back out. Use Toyota ATF WS fluid only. I'll attach the instruction.

 

welcome! none of that is needed, but some recommend the tranny service. if your interested, shop around for someone to do it for $100. or so. i hate to ask what they're charging just for the toyota recommended service. all the best!

 

All of the things he recommended are things that you should eventually do, but you certainly don't need to do it all right now! IMO the most important items are changing the transaxle fluid and perhaps the brake fluid flush. The rest of it can probably wait until closer to 100k miles.

 

The shop rate for cleaning the "hybrid blower motor" (fancy way of saying "fan") is $60 at Luscious Garage in San Francisco. $380 is a ripoff. At 60,000 you only need to change oil, oil filter and maybe the $20 cabin air filter (an easy, no-tools, do-it-yourself).

If you want to keep the car a long time, at 60,000, I think you should replace the tranny fluid. It should cost $80-$100 at a shop.
