Head gasket repair in SE Alabama?

What year is the Prius, and how many miles?

 

Probably need to explain the shops when you're calling around at this basically is a Corolla engine when the safety plug is out of the battery in the back no chance of being shocked or any funny business troubleshooting is very similar to the Corolla as far as diagnosing head gasket leaks and basic engine running It's the same engine more or less so if they'll work on a Corolla they shouldn't really be too worried about this as far as engine problems go I understand they don't want to hear about the electronics and all the nonsense and that's fine

 

Personally with this model in mind it's time to let that car go even fixing it and selling it you'll probably lose somewhat If you can't part it out and sell it to the junkyard or to a overzealous person that thinks they can or that believes that this model is their keeper that's what I would do I have two sitting here that are going through this process right now they're just not keepers for us so whatever parts I can't move over to other vehicles get sold off and that's that I can't deal with a bunch of problems constantly personally once it starts pretty much doesn't end In vehicles of this design anyway

 

Is this the same car that had the severely overheated engine about 11 months ago in this thread 2010 Prius Overheating | PriusChat? If so, you need to replace the engine or buy a different car.

 

^ link backfiring for me. I'll try:

To troubleshoot if you want:

This is what I wrote 11 months ago in the other thread:

And this was your reply:

Personally, I would not put any more money into the 2010 Prius. I would buy a newer replacement car.

 

The "?" at the end of my link should not be there. It is to late for me to correct my bad link.
Thanks for correcting my link.

 

Yeah that's what I was thinking. There was significant other diff's in the address as well, maybe a factor. FWIW, I've reported this thread, see what Tideland thinks about merging with previous, though it may be too messy.

 

I would keep them separate. Previous thread was for engine overheating. This thread is asking about a place to get the head gasket fixed.

 

Still, a lot of data to repeat, and previous thread kinda shut down. Seems like an ongoing saga.
