    I need a hybrid specialist in Fort Myers/Pubta Gorda area who can do a pre-Sales inspection before Thursday. I am buying car out of state and organizing this remotely.
    Who do you recommend, and who should I avoid?
    Thank you!

    Yes. The person I'm buying the car forms from Fort Myers, he's picking me up from the airport in Punta Gorda, Tampa would be too far for me to ask him to bring the car. Thanks though

    If no one has personal recommendations, I would get an appointment with a Toyota dealer.

    - I would also get the vin and pay for a Carfax report ahead of time. Before you travel.

    - One Priuschat member warned against Buy Rite Auto Inc

    Google suggests:

    Top Toyota repair options in the Fort Myers area include:

    1. AutoNation Toyota Fort Myers: The official dealership service center for OEM repairs, warranty work, and scheduled maintenance. (239) 266-2863.
