  1. Same with me. In my area I have not been able to find a trustworthy guy. Overpriced and gouged. Given ridiculous quotes. Like 3 grand for spark plugs because they felt even older V6's needed the plenum removed. It's been a terrible time. Just when you trust them with the fluid spill and fills, and a semi minor major hose replacement, then they get you. Overcharge full msrp on their database and also try to extend the time as much as they can and pretend to say they would charge less if they did less and then stall for time and round up to the next full hour because they stalled the extra 15 minutes.

  2. Depends on if the short block is damaged beyond repair or spec. To change it out would cost that much.  @vg3430

  3. The one weak common problem of this vehicle. This is because that other shop didn't know Priuses.
