2007 Prius C1259/C1310 Brake Actuator Failure – Seeking Repair Advice/Shop Recs in NM

Hello everyone,

I have a 2007 Toyota Prius (Gen 2) with about 171,000 miles that's stuck in permanent limp mode due to what appears to be a failed brake actuator assembly.

Current symptoms:

• C1259 and C1310 codes (ABS actuator-related) confirmed with my own OBD-II scan
• Very poor acceleration – barely drivable, only safe for short local trips on city streets (no freeway)
• Gasoline engine runs constantly (trying to charge the hybrid system)
• Consumption screen does not display the hybrid battery at all (system seems to have it offline / no proper regenerative braking)
• Red triangle warning light and other dash warnings on
  

Recent repairs / history (to show it's not a neglected car):

• Hybrid battery replaced successfully ~3 years ago
• Instrument cluster replaced summer 2025
• Inverter coolant pump replaced summer 2025 (DIY)
• Brakes (pads, rotors, fluid) serviced fall 2025 – fluid level and condition look good
  

I've ruled out most other common causes through testing and the symptoms match classic Gen 2 brake actuator failure.

What I'm looking for:

1. Shop or mobile mechanic recommendations in the Albuquerque / Rio Rancho, NM area (ZIP 87124) that have experience with Gen 2 Prius brake actuator replacements. Ideally someone who:
   
   • Uses Techstream (or equivalent) for proper bleeding
   • Is willing to quote labor-only for install + bleed if I supply the part
   • Won’t insist on a full $200+ diagnostic fee since I already have the codes and symptoms
     
2. Recent experiences (2025–2026) with part sourcing and costs:
   
   • New OEM actuator cost? (~$1,300–$1,800)?
   • Aftermarket best options? (i.e. Amazon listings ~$400–$700, or eBay?)
   • Used OEM pulls (risks vs. rewards) ?
   • Any luck finding reman parts? (Dorman 587-765 appears discontinued/out of stock at major chains like O'Reilly)
     
3. Realistic total repair costs people have paid lately for this job in the Southwest (labor + part)
   
   
4. Whether it’s worth fixing at this mileage vs. selling as-is (I'm torn)
   

I just emailed PriusKings (they claim Albuquerque coverage) and will update here with what they say. In the meantime, any local shop/mechanic suggestions or tips from folks who’ve gone through this would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any help – this has been a challenge.
