    Thanks for your prompt reply - I can vouch for Avi - he is awesome!!! I had trans fluid in my inverter cooling system. Dealer flushed the system, but it happened again - so they told me I had a leak somewhere between the trans and the inverter and that I needed a new trans! Avi was the only one who determined that the issue was previous owner placing trans fluid into the inverter cooling system. Avi thoroughly flushed out my inverter system and I've had no issues since (over 30K since). But he's over 35 miles from my home :(

    I should add that he's very reasonable price wise - very trust worthy.

    Avi sounds great, but he's quite a hike for us in the South Bay. This is an old thread, so I thought someone might have discovered another Torrance/South Bay Prius mechanic. If I can't find a recommendation here, I'll try Lexology in Redondo Beach and report on my experience. My issue is that the A/C is blowing warm, but I'm looking for an honest general mechanic that knows our Prii inside and out. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I heard Lexology is good from another Prius owner, although I have no experience with them.

    Thanks, any others? With the North American headquarters of Toyota in Torrance, there has to be a guru level Prius mechanic that set up shop somewhere nearby...
