    Hi! I'm the owner of a 2013 Prius V with almost 150,000 miles on it. Absolutely, zero issues with it in that time. In fact, outside of fluid changes, tires and wiper blades was a brake job at 140K.

    So, it's developed some cosmetic issues and I've never loved driving it, so it's being relegated to third car status after buying a 2023 Bolt EV.

    Right now, I'm looking for some advice on what to do with a high mileage vehicle with some potentially expensive issues popping up, if I keep it. I still think it's going to get 5K miles a year or so between road trips, camping trips, hauling around bags a manure, etc.

    Any recommendations for a shop in the San Gabriel Valley to do a 150K service with?
