    I have a 2011 Prius with 254K miles on it. It now needs a new engine. I am having a hard time finding reputable mechanics in my area (Northern Virginia) that have experience working on hybrid cars and will not take me to the cleaners. Any recommendations for a mechanic in the Northern Virginia area that can replace my 2011 Prius engine?

    Welcome to Prius Chat (y).

    That’s a lot of miles. Did it blow a head gasket? Severe oil consumption?

    @wjtracy is a local and may have a recommendation.

    Good luck and keep us posted (y).

    West Springfield Auto has a mechanic who used to work for Toyota...I don't know if he is comfortable replacing an engine.
