    Welcome to PriusChat!!
    Best to call around, could be based on current walk in traffic and number of parts jockeys available at any given time.

    Costco doesn't, but great mall of china.claims it will, or bring your own and they'll install it for $10. Best to call about gen2 fitment.

    $10? No way.

    If the OP is in Los Angeles and he has the battery, I can install it for him. Just send me a message. I was recently rescued by a member here with a battery issue (not my car), passing along the goodwill

    Many places will install batteries for free, but it probably won't apply to a Prius.
