Prius engine work · from a hybrid battery specialist
Prius head gasket repair, EGR cleaning and engine swaps in Phoenix
Hybrid batteries are what we do. These three engine jobs are the exception, because on a high-mileage Prius the engine and the battery are the same decision — and weighing one against the other is what we do every day.
Hybrid battery specialists
We're a hybrid battery shop first. Head gaskets, EGR cleaning and engine swaps are the only engine jobs we take on — because on a high-mileage Prius the engine and the hybrid battery are one decision, and that decision is what we do all day. For brakes, suspension or routine maintenance, your regular mechanic is the right call.

Why a battery shop does engine work
A 2010–2015 Prius with a failing head gasket is a high-mileage car, often still on its original hybrid battery. A general shop quotes the engine. A battery shop quotes the engine and then asks the question that decides whether it’s worth it.
So every engine job starts with the same two checks: prove what’s wrong with the engine, and test the hybrid battery. Then you get the options side by side: repair the engine, swap it, do the battery at the same time with a reconditioned or replacement pack, or sell the car to us as it is.
Not worth fixing?
