I've owned my 2005 Prius for a few month. I drove it to Texas and back. Now I haven't had any service on it. And its about to hit 100K miles. For the brake service should I take it to a dealer or some regular maintenance shop? Should I always take it to the dealer? They are so expensive! Just looking for some advice since my 05 prius will be my only car and I want to take good care of her. Thanks for anyone's advice.
Oh and what is a hybrid cleaning system? They said on the phone they could do it for $250...is it worth it?
Any shop will do your brakes; you can DIY if you're careful to pull the under-bonnet relays which control ABS. Hybrid cleaning probably refers to the hi-volt cooling fan...also DIY. They'll probably sell you fairy dust to give you more MPG and drill speed-holes in the body to make the car go faster. I'd run away from them as fast as your Prius can run.
