HELPERS, SPECIALTIES
AND ACCESSORIES
(which your Toyota Dealer cannot and will not
offer you :)
- EV
Mode button installation: $249 (with aftermarket button).
This allows electric-only driving for short
distances at
lower speeds. AKA 'stealth Prius mode' the gas engine ("ICE")
can be
inhibited by the driver, allowing silent arrivals and departures.
It also allows you to deplete the hybrid battery more: if you're into it, this is
useful prior
to
situations where you know you will be going downhill for a long time,
so there's more 'room' to store and reuse your regenerated power.
Call to
schedule. Takes about half a day.
- Custom wheel alignment: $118.
Reduce front tire wear by having your Prius alignment
adjusted to
exactly match you unique driving style. This is a fine art
only us
old-timers can offer ... No big-box so-called 'computer alignment'
can
remotely compare. Call to schedule the real thing. (Please
DO NOT have
tires 'rotated'
less than 5000 miles before this Service, or we can't accurately read
their palms
... seriously!). Takes about half a day.
- Leather cover for center console arm-rest lid:
Black, $98.
Smells brilliant and wears really well. Takes a day to send
to our upholstery
shop, but is convenient if you leave the car with us for a scheduled
oil-Service anyway.
- Hybrid
battery Health-Check: $79. This preemptive screening
can
find weakening batteries early. For cars outside Toyota's
100k mile battery
warranty, this is valuable information to the Prius owner.
Just stop by the workshop. Takes about an hour.
- Lifetime air filter: $85 installed.
This washable oiled-cotton filter saves fuel from the first
tank, but more importantly it does not require replacement. After about
30k miles it will have paid for itself in parts (air filter) costs alone. (Of course this is inconsequential if your Prius is
only getting
$30 Dealer "services" since the engine air filter will never be inspected or changed anyway). Perhaps
even more
important, however, is the environmental issue: the county dump won't be
filled-up with your cheap disposable paper-rubber air filters when you choose a lifetime unit. Please
call a day ahead. Takes about 15 minutes.

That's it for now, but we'll get you more Happy Hybrid
Prius helpers soon.
