Have over 100,000 miles on 2005 prius without any maintenance so far except for the oil changes. Would appreciate any advise on WHAT and WHERE to service my car. Sincerely, Marcus
Where in California? There are some indie shops in the SF area. There are several things to consider at 100k - Wanna search the PC archives or shall we just tell you?
One option that is up the road from you is Pat's Garage on the southern edge of San Francisco. http://www.patsgarage.com/ Or if you want to drive downtown SF you could always try out Luscious Garage. Luscious Garage | Hybrid Specialists Both are great independent hybrid specialists. And if you ever want to convert your Prius to a Plug-In.... they can both help you with that as well!
If you want to cross over to the East Bay, Art's Automotive has always done excellent work on my family's cars and I understand that they're now servicing hybrids.
Searching Prius chat for maint tips will often take you to this thread: http://priuschat.com/forums/care-ma...70-what-services-you-need-what-you-don-t.html and it is good reading for those who want a hand in the decision-making process. Alternatively, visit Art's or Luscious and throw yourself at their mercy. I don't think they'll fleece you.
