    Hey y'all, this forum has saved my bacon a number of times, but this is my first time posting. Thanks Prius Chat for being a life saver!

    I have an '08 Prius with a bad combo meter. The tricks to get it to come on stopped working about a month ago, and it has gotten to the point where it's only on maybe half the time. I'm at school and 18 hours away from my dad's tools (meaning I have basically nothing), and am a little scared to try the whole tear down and replacement anyway.

    As such, before I go out and buy a bunch of tools I don't have the knowledge to use or space to store, I thought I would ask if anyone knows of anywhere that works on Prii and would do the repair/replacement at a decent price. I'm in Provo, so would love to find a place in Utah County, but couos definitely go up to Salt Lake.

    Thanks all!

    Someone who's going to rip your dash top off and pull the vents out and do all that they're going to charge you $400 a shop that's the games now. And the parts going to be worthwhile part 175 from Texas hybrids and if they're installing you're part no warranty.
