    It seems to be where all the taxi drivers take their hybrids.

    2011 Prius has twice this month started up but refused to go into drive or reverse. Not sure if its the hybrid battery or something else. Through all the obsessive googling, it seems possible it could be the inverter, whatever that is. I'm thinking of driving it to Lazarus in Long Island City because they say they diagnose for free and replace the batteries for $1000. Makes me a little nervous, as does the fact that the business seems to have more than one name. I found one positive review on here, but wondering if anyone else has opinions, thanks.

    if it turns out to be the battery, reconditioning is whack a mole. how long do you plan to keep the car?
    are they a full service hybrid shoppe, capable of replacing brake actuator, inverter, or cleaning the egr circuit?
