If you drive one of these gas-sipping sedans, you know that proper maintenance is key to keeping your Prius purring for years to come. That’s why our auto repair shop specializes in servicing the Prius and its unique hybrid system.
With over a decade of experience working on hybrid powertrains, our expert technicians have the skills to pinpoint problems quickly and make repairs efficiently. We stay up-to-date on the latest Prius models and advanced diagnostic tools to accurately assess issues. No more trial-and-error troubleshooting – we get your car fixed right the first time.
Our Most Popular Prius Services:
– Hybrid Battery Replacement – We offer battery reconditioning to restore performance and range. For older batteries that can’t be reconditioned, we provide and install brand new OEM or high-quality aftermarket hybrid battery packs.
– Inverter Repair/Replacement – The inverter converts DC electricity from the hybrid battery to AC to power the electric motor. We can rebuild faulty inverters and source remanufactured replacements if needed.
– Transaxle Services – Whether you need differential fluid changes or repair of the planetary gear system, we have specialized knowledge of the Prius transaxle and hybrid transmissions.
– Brake Repair – The Prius uses regenerative braking to charge its hybrid battery. We ensure the brakes and ABS system are working properly for safety.
– HVAC Repair – Problems with the AC compressor, condenser or electrical cooling fans can be tricky on a hybrid. We have the tools and know-how to get the air flowing again.
– Suspension & Alignment – Proper wheel alignment and suspension service helps maximize your Prius’s fuel economy. We’ll get your wheels aligned and address any clunks, vibrations or uneven wear.
– Computer Diagnostics – We connect directly to your Prius’s ECU and hybrid control modules to read error codes and quickly diagnose electronic issues.
Regular maintenance is also key for the Prius. We recommend:
– Oil Changes – Use synthetic 0W-20 oil and change every 10,000 miles or 12 months.
– Tire Rotation – Rotate tires every 5,000 miles to reduce uneven wear.
– Air Filter Replacement – Replace engine and cabin air filters at 30,000 miles.
– Coolant Flush – Flush and replace engine coolant every 100,000 miles.
– Brake Fluid Flush – Flush brake fluid every 3 years to avoid corrosion and leaks.
When to Schedule Prius Service:
– Dim Hybrid Battery Warning Light – Indicates excess drain on battery. Could signal issues.
– Reduced Fuel Economy – Drop of 2+ MPG could mean alignment or drivetrain problem.
– Warning Messages – Battery, brake, traction control, or “check hybrid system” errors require diagnosis.
– Unusual Noises – Grinding, squeaking or driveline vibrations point to mechanical issues.
