    Does anybody know how I can find a private Hybrid repair shop in Boston area or in Massachusetts in general? I'm sick of overpaying for everything at the stealership. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    They can? The dealership said they can't since this is a hybrid car.

    almost any mechanic can do 90% of the car which is the same as any other car. many mechanics can do larger hubrid work like batteries and inverters and hybrid drive system. you won't likely need those services. oil changes, filters, belts, hoses, brakes, tires, exhaust, spark plugs, pcv, and many more can even be diy'ed.
