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 has set their replacement time for Prius batteries at roughly 1.6- 1.7 hours for their dealer base, but this is something youâll want to confirm with the dealer before you sign any type of service agreement. Generally speaking, dealerships range anywhere from $100-$200 per hour in labor rates.
