    You could check with Steve at autobeyours in Scottsburg, IN as he might have a recommendation in your general area for servicing as Louisville ain’t that far away :):

    Prius hybrids sales and service Scottsburg Indiana

    Good luck and keep us posted (y).

    A local mechanic recommended that I NOT have the inverter and engine coolant changed.

    He recommended just going with transaxel fluid change, spark plug replaced, oil change and throttle body cleaning...

    Thoughts?

    Toyota USA schedule is engine coolant at 100K miles or 10 years, and inverter coolant at 150K miles or 15 years. Then both thereafter at 50K miles or 5 years. The schedule is a tricky read: it says do them both at 100K, then revises the inverter interval in a footnote (3?), which governs I guess.

    FWIW, Toyota Canada says do both at 100K miles or 10 years. I even emailed them to verify, pointing out the US/CDN variation.
