Maintenance log
01
A dealership quoted me $2,100 for a catalytic converter. Ray smoke-tested the exhaust, texted me a photo of a split gasket just upstream of the O2 sensor and fixed the whole thing for $240 including diagnostics. Six months on, no warning lights.
02
At 120,000 miles my Prius needed engine and inverter coolant, plugs and transmission fluid. Curtis used genuine Toyota coolant and fluid for nearly 35% less than the dealer quoted, and sent photo proof of every filter and plug he pulled.
