some PRIUS 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.
