    211,000 miles on 2007 Prius Gen 2. No real issues to date.

    Dealer recommends following. Am I getting ripped off? Am I being upsold unnecessary work?

    Transmission fluid service 350
    Transaxle fluid service 189.99
    Coolant service 240
    Inverter coolant service 205
    Fuel injection service 191
    PCV replace 270
    Hybrid vent clean 229

    What’s skippable?

    Most of these are posted publicly as common. But I’m not sure re pcv and injectors. Thoughts?

    transmission and transaxle are one and the same. i would like to be in the shop watching them accomplish that magic trick. :cool:
    to know what you can skip, we have to know what has been done.
    consult your maintenance schedule. it goes to 120k and 10 years i think. then just keep repeating the same intervals.
    brake fluid is a good idea and may not be in there. same with the tranny fluid. hybrid battery fan and vent cleaning you can do yourself, should you choose to.
