Alternatives to Dealer Maintenance in Orange County, California?

Hi all, I've got a 2010 Prius IV that just reached 30,000 miles. Thus, I no longer am on the complimentary service program and now have to pay for my own regular maintenance.

This past weekend, I brought my car into the local dealership (Power Toyota Irvine) for the 30,000 mile service and was charged a bit over $200 for that service. I am not familiar with what people have paid for the service, so I wanted to get people's input on whether this was excessive for this service (i.e., did I just get ripped off?). Also, I wanted to know if I can bring the car into an independent mechanic for regular service and still have the manufacturer's warranty (i.e., will the independent mechanic log the maintenance so that Toyota will honor the, I believe, 3-year manufacturer's warranty).

If I am better off bringing it to an independent mechanic, does anyone have any recommendations in Orange County? I live in the Irvine area, so it would be my preference to take it to a reputable mechanic close by. I know that someone has previously recommended Dr. Import in Fountain Valley, but I'd love to hear of any other recommendations.

Edit: I just spoke to the folks at Dr. Import, and I was quoted over $300 for the 30,000 mile service. Holy smokes!

 

I'm an idiot. I don't know why I didn't think to call South Coast Auto Clinic first! I brought my old vehicle there based on Yelp reviews, but did not think of calling them for my Prius. I just spoke to one of the guys over there, and he thinks that the 30,000 service should only cost under $100. Dang it!

 

Unfortunately, it is people like me who allow dealerships to continue these types of practices! First of all, I forgot that I was no longer under the maintenance plan. Secondly, and most importantly, I failed to do my research prior to bringing my car in. Lesson learned.
