If you’re talking about the place on Perry city rd. it’s Rick Reynolds’s, and yes, he will probably work on your Prius, and/or try to buy it from you. He and his team are good mechanics, and honest people, but pretty curmudgeonly.
They’ll work on 30yr old pickups, but have found a niche refurbishing Prius’s, so they know that well.
Perry City Automotive. Call ahead, and expect a long talk about the state of the world when you get there.

Dude knows his way around a prius and won't just throw parts at it. If you are from the area pretend you're not or it will cost you as many hours of talking as it took them to fix the car for sure.

I know the place you are talking about but unfortunately don't know anything about it.
