Los Angeles independent mechanic for service

Since your car is still under warranty, I would suggest you do the work at the dealer. An oil change with synthetic oil should be less than $100. They can also inspect your vehicle for any repairs before your warranty runs out.

After your warranty runs out, you can do your basic fluid changes at a local mechanic. Tony's Auto Service in Rosemead has all the right fluids for your Prius and they change them for a fraction of the price of a dealership. They will change your transaxle fluid with WS fluid for $55, where as the dealership will charge you $100 or more for this service.

The filters you can do yourself, takes less than 5 minutes to change the engine and cabin air filter. They run about $15 at your local walmart or discount auto stores.
