Well, earlier today, I received an unexpected blessing from the place where I purchased my Toyota Prius. I won’t have to pay the full price to get the inverter filter replaced. How awesome is that? I’ll be taking the vehicle in later this week.The used car dealership uses the same auto mechanic that I do. In fact, they were the ones that introduced me to them. I use them because they are dependable, don’t run games on me when it comes to car maintenance and charge a fair price.
That’s excellent news!!!!!! Great to hear!

@Jennifer, I was too. 🙂
That is good news. I was suprised how many miles you have on the car so far. It seems like you got your moneys worth from it. I do some work on my cars and i hate finding a good garage to do the actual work i can not. Most try to tell me more is wrong but i know alot about cars so i find another garage once they try to tell me i need something i do not.

@ken, I’ve heard good things about Toyota and Honda and so that’s why I went with one of them. I’d been looking at hybrids for quite some time and so leaped at the opportunity to purchase one. From my research, this car should easily last me into the 200,000+ range. The paint job is in great condition, the interior is immaculate and so I’m looking forward to seeing how many miles I can add to my used car. I’ve already set aside a “used car fund,” and so when this car dies, hopefully, years down the road, I’ll easily be able to purchase a vehicle with cash. I dislike debt.

Oh and what city are you in? I’d love a trustworthy mechanic for my car.
@David, I’m in Maryland. I take my car to Vehicles Service Plus. Which is located in Bel Air, Maryland. Dave Serio is the owner of Vehicles Service Plus and has a radio show that airs on Saturdays called You Auto Know. I occasionally listen to the show. http://www.daveserio.com/bio.htm I like the auto shop. I’ve found them to be courteous and their prices are fair. I had a few places quote a much higher price for auto work.
The good news is, that I haven’t had to take my Prius in since last year, but… if it needs work that’s where I go. For general maintenance like changing the oil, brakes, or headlamp lights, I’ll do that myself. I’d watched my father do general car maintenance when I was a child and I occasionally assisted. I did brush up by watching a few Youtube videos before doing it myself. I like it, it similar to putting a puzzle together.
