Can anyone recommend a shop in the Bay Area to diagnose and repair the issue. I am located in the South Bay.
Welcome to PriusChat!! Personally, I would only recommend @lech auto air conditionin - one of our members here. He might offer a house call, or invite you over to his place in SF. If nothing else he can recommend a quality local shop to fix the problem. Please report back in this thread when you figure out the problem, which shop was able to fix it, and for how much. FYI : you're moderated until you've posted 5 times.
Thank you for your reply! I tried finding @lech auto air conditionin but I could not find any contact information on the site or googling for a shop. I've read several posts from Lech and seen a few of his youtube videos and he seems very knowledgeable.
Most likely he will find this thread soon and offer up some options. You can also use the "Start a Converstaion" button and try PMing directly, but this feature doesn't work for many, and you may get lucky.
Or message on his latest youtube video Prius after 30 minutes of being completely recharged sitting in the sun dash & cabin temperature - YouTube
