    I live in Old Trafford, Manchester.
    Anybody know of any Hybrid mechanics in the neighbourhood?
    Searched online but it tends to throw up any kind of garages and when you ask, they're not hybrid savvy at all.

    I don’t know, but does your car have a hybrid-specific problem? Because most Prius work is the same as any other Toyota work.

    Just had a problem with hvac blower but sorted it myself.
    It's an old car now (2008) so it would be handy to know for the future.

    British people are so resourceful that it’s a miracle any mechanic can be professionally employed. Even the Queen is a trained mechanic!

    I'm in old Trafford as well, seems like can't finds a specialist working on Toyota hybrid cars around here. Have been using local mechanics.

    Thanks Lexidium, are they any good? Can't find any reviews about them. I probably need to replace the hybrid battery for my car.

    Yes, they know what they are doing.
    I've used them a couple of times.
    The last time my battery cooling fan had stopped working and he advised me to look at the wiring on the left side looking from the back and sure enough, it was at fault and I fixed it myself.
