    Got a couple bad cells in my 2007. I don’t trust myself with replacing them. Anyone know of someone in my area that does this sort of work?

    Problem is if you're going to start paying somebody to do this you're going to get up into the $500 range real quick so you're heading into a new battery for just a few sales I mean it's a stretch I get it but my battery guy charges $550 for a refurbed battery with new bus bars and nuts all modules are balanced and checked twice etc I just hand him my other one and take off with this one That's a pretty good deal for me anyway I would think pretty much for anybody that's in this kind of a mess was by the time you start paying somebody to crack open the whole battery and the rack and everything at labor rates they got now man You're in a mess pretty quick maybe better I'll find an independent guy that can do similar to my guy here in Greensboro North Carolina

    I follow the car wizard you tube channel. I think he's in Newton Nebraska. He has done videos on prius. Try him.

    He’s in Newton Kansas. About a 5 hour drive, or tow in my case.
    Thanks

    Worth a call to see if he knows someone closer to you if you are still looking
