The best time to go to Magic Mountain is in October, the last week they are open during the weekdays (the week of Halloween) on that Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
You can replace the hybrid battery pack for $600â$2000. It will be more expensive to do it at the Toyota dealer, and the model of the car also affects price. I have had 3 Priuses in my family, and only had to replace one battery pack (200,000+ miles). I ordered a replacement battery pack from a rebuilder and had it shipped to my mechanic, who had no problems changing things out. The total cost was $1200, back in 2011.
Toyota hybrid battery replacement costs. Below is a list of MSRP battery cost details for the three generations of Prius model, as well as those for the Camry Hybrid sedan and Highlander Hybrid SUV.1  2001-2003 Toyota Prius (1st generation) - $3,649 minus $1,350 core credit. 2  2004-2008 Toyota Prius (2nd generation) - $3,649 minus $1,350 core credit.oyota didn't specify labor rates for the Camry or Highlander, but a pack in the 2nd-generation Prius takes 1.7 hours to replace (given its similarity to the first-generation Prius, we'd assume a similar time for that vehicle too) and a 3rd-generation Prius battery pack has labor of 1.6 hours.
