    you would both know more than me. She is 19 and this is her first bout with car maintainence. Am I way off to think that those issues are less than $500?

    I'm going W A Y out on a limb and guessing that the coil you replaced came unplugged when the engine shifted forward during the hard braking.... maybe.

    A COMPLETE tune-up on a Gen2 Prius is about:

    Air Filter - $14
    Plugs (4) - $15
    Coils (4) - $20 (used from recycler, no need to spend $75/ea on new!)

    So... under $100 in parts and if you know your way around a ratchet, free labor of about an hour's time.
