Prius service in Sacramento, CA

Recently bought what seems to be a gem: 2015 Gen 3 Prius 2. First owner a one year lease, then the only other owner put 18,000-plus miles a year, had at serviced by the same dealer every 5,000 miles. Each time washed and detailed. 133k miles; I’ve put 2,000 onit and no oil consumption. Want a service I can trust, not a dealer. Any recommendations in the Sacramento area?

 

Well, these days the 95 miles can take two and a half hours. So, yes, but thanks!

 

Thanks for your suggestions. I’m much grateful for the good people of PriusChat. Lucious Garage sounds good, but the 100 miles/2+ hour drive to SF doesn’t work for me (as much as I love the Prius). The servicing dealer is almost as far—Napa. I have considered going there once just to see what they do with what appear to be the common (?) egr & head gasket issues. Of course, that’s another (many) thread. Read too much online and it seems the sky is falling (all respect to those with actual knowledge, of which I have none).

 

Thanks, bisco. Assume you refer to the entire egr circuit? Guess that would be a standard “feature” of a gas engine. The hybrid aspect of the power train is still a mystery to me, in particular the transitions between ev and ice. Have a buddy with a 2019 Camry hybrid and don’t feel a thing pulling away gently from stop. My Prius is prone to a gentle tug (not quite a throb) when ice comes on. Just wanted an “expert” to assess things. Otherwise, this cars feels new.
