Hi Friends, I just picked up my first Prius (used 2011, 130000mi) last weekend. Everybody on this site really influenced that decision - the shared knowledge is impressive and appreciated. Makes me that much more confident that this ride is gonna be a good one. Shout out to @NutzAboutBolts for the 3rd gen maintenance videos. Thanks to you, I took the money I would've spent at a mechanic and spent a fraction of it on tools and materials. In the past week, I went from never wrenching on a car before to DIY changing oil & filter, both air filters, spark plugs, transmission fluid, and coolant. Brake service is up next. (I suppose I should mention that I repair & build tube audio amplifiers in my spare time - not shy with tools or high voltage, just never had my hands in / under a car)
