    Mendal is so correct. If your mechanic opened the drivers door during his work, this too can mess things up. If he didn't disconnect the battery, that can mess things up. I have done may brade jobs, and, I will leave the job of getting my rear brakes done to Hybridpit here in the OC. Make sure your mechanic knows Prius brakes. Keep the drivers door closed. Disconnect the battery. I can tell you having done many a brake job, that I never would have worried about the battery being disconnected or opening the drivers door.

    Thank you for the reassurance that this needs to be done in a certain manner and properly versus maybe some of the other cars in the past... I am taking it to the Toyota Dealer on Friday to have it re done for the 3rd time, I’m assuming I won’t have to explain to them the proper technique.
    Thanks again!
