2011 Prius Gen 3 located in Compton, Illinois. Need a Prius experienced mechanic to repair/replace head gasket. Close to the intersections of I-39 and I-88, or I-39 and I-80. Not looking for a dealership. Please let me know if you know of anyone.
I’m from Amboy, I am not aware of any “hybrid” repair shops close by. There are a couple in the Chicago area if you can drive it. Otherwise we’ve used CARS (complete autoworks repair services) in Dixon for other things. Doesn’t hurt to ask if they have done any HG on hybrids. iPhone ?
This thread by @The Critic is on the subject: 2011 Prius Head Gasket Failure | PriusChat And there's a couple of videos linked here, give a good idea of what's involved: New head gasket replacement video from Gasket Masters | PriusChat Would be worthwhile to check their channel for new videos too. In particular they recently posted one about how to tell if head bolts are frozen, shocking them loose, to avoid snapping off heads.
pm member eric becky, up in madison. he might have some advice for you. he's a battery guy i think, but maybe more, and very knowledgable and helpful.
