The original inverter in my 2005 Prius finally gave up the fight back in October 2021. The dealership quoted me a replacement repair cost of $4,000. They also told me that once the inverter goes, the battery usually follows quickly and that replacement repair cost would be around $6,000. My Prius has 197,000 miles on it and still had the original hybrid system in place. It was a busy time of year for us and so my beloved Prius sat in the driveway for over 3 months while I mulled my options. After the first of the year, I decided to start looking for replacement options that didn't involve dealerships. As much as I would love to own a Prius Prime, it just wasn't the right time for me what with all the supply chain issues and opportunistic dealer markups on price. As I looked around on the internet, I came across GreenTec Auto and couldn't believe the prices and glowing reviews. You know the old saying, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is too good to be true? Well, I'm here to tell you that saying definitely DOESN'T apply to GreenTec Auto. From my first contact with the company via email in early January, I was guided through my choices and given estimates for every combination of repairs that I requested. I felt like Heidi was holding my hand and guiding me through the process with a smile on her face at all times. I finally chose to go with a new inverter and a new 48 month warranty battery. It may seem like an odd choice for a 2005 Prius with 197,000 miles on it. But, at less than the cost quoted to me by the dealership for just the inverter replacement, I have a car that runs just like new. Joshua drove over from Houston and had the new parts installed in several hours, right in my driveway. I also needed a new 120v battery after leaving the car sit for so many months, but even adding in that cost I was still under the dealership inverter only cost. My Prius is running so well that I decided to visit Maaco and get a beauty makeover for it. It looks like new. I intend to keep my Prius for many years and I have GreenTec Auto to thank for making that a feasible financial decision for me. Don't hesitate to use this company. They are the real deal!!
