    Any suggestions out there? I just moved to Santa Monica and need a mechanic that'll work on a Prius. My a/c is busted and it's hot down here!
    I'll take suggestions for anywhere in LA.
    Thanks!

    Some owners in your area have had good luck with Marina del Rey Toyota.

    Since the air conditioning system has a unique design, I suggest that you may want a Prius-qualified tech to repair that system.

    I would agree. If you get any oil from another AC system into the Priuses AC system you will damage the compressor.
