These guys are great. They answered my call on a day when they weren't even open. I drove over to them and they had me with a new battery within 10mins. Very happy with this service and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Hybrid repair questions

Do you charge to scan hybrid warning codes?

No. Code scans are free. We read the hybrid system codes, not just the check-engine light, and tell you what the car most likely needs before you commit to anything.

Can you repair a Prius inverter?

Yes. We diagnose and repair Prius and other hybrid inverters, including inverter water pumps, coolant leaks and converter faults. Inverter work is quoted after diagnosis because the fix ranges from a $425 water pump to a full inverter repair.

How much is a Prius brake actuator replacement?

A 2004-2009 Prius brake actuator (used OEM part, 1 year / 12,000-mile warranty) is $1,350. A 2010-2015 Prius brake actuator (new Toyota OEM part, 3 year / 36,000-mile warranty) is $1,650.

Is it cheaper than the dealer?

In most cases, yes. We specialize in hybrids, so we diagnose faster and do not pad the bill with work you do not need. You get a written quote before any repair.

Do you work on hybrids other than Toyota?

Yes. We repair Honda, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus and every other hybrid brand, from IMA systems in older Hondas to modern two-motor hybrids.
