    Hello! I am looking for a good shop in Seattle area that works on Prius. I tried searching the forums but couldn't find much. Any good recommendations besides dealerships? Thank you.

    I am looking also. There are so many Prii in Seattle that I can't believe there aren't more hybrid specialists. One I found, Greentec Auto, is located in Kent - I went to them once when they were near Greenlake. I liked them fine (it was a very minor visit so not much of a real test) but they weren't convenient enough, and even less so in Kent. My search also came up with Northwest Automotive, located out on Lake City. They apparently have hybrid certified mechanics there & get great reviews- I haven't been there but am likely to go soon. It looks like my (2008) hybrid battery may be starting to decline (check engine light coming on & off, a shop looked it over and suggested it might be the battery) & I need to get it tested.
