“Poor Prius” Cedar Park, 2021
Our poor Prius was showing us the “red triangle of death” light on the dash this morning, so we had to send it off to the auto shop. Luckily, our AAA service towed it there for cheap (our mechanic is a couple miles farther than the 7 miles that AAA gives you for free). We’ve taken our Prius to the same mechanic for years now, and I trust them to be honest with the work. In fact, one of the mechanics there has a Prius as well, so he knows a lot about the common issues, and lets us know what he would do if he were in our situation.
This time, however, I’m expecting a larger bill because it’s got almost 200k miles on the odometer, and the motor batteries are probably just about done for. I love the Prius, though, and Bay will be driving it down at college so I want to make sure it’s safe for him. Anyways, we’re crossing our fingers that it won’t be too expensive a fix.
