    Have over 100,000 miles on 2005 prius without any maintenance so far except for the oil changes.

    Would appreciate any advise on WHAT and WHERE to service my car.

    Sincerely,
    Marcus

    Where in California? There are some indie shops in the SF area.

    There are several things to consider at 100k - Wanna search the PC archives or shall we just tell you? :)

    Marcus - did you really never do any other service? How about the engine air filter? Marvin

    One option that is up the road from you is Pat's Garage on the southern edge of San Francisco.
    http://www.patsgarage.com/


    Or if you want to drive downtown SF you could always try out Luscious Garage.
    Luscious Garage | Hybrid Specialists

    Both are great independent hybrid specialists.

    And if you ever want to convert your Prius to a Plug-In.... they can both help you with that as well!

    If you want to cross over to the East Bay, Art's Automotive has always done excellent work on my family's cars and I understand that they're now servicing hybrids.

    If you want to go to a dealer, I'm satisfied w/Toyota Sunnyvale.
