I haven't seen much in the way of high mileage service reports on this board, so I planned to post mine to help others anticipate costs. Since I got my Prius shortly after they were first available in the U.S., it's not surprising I'm one of the first to get high mileage scheduled service performed on my Prius. Hopefully there will be more posts following from other owners, since it will take many data points to get a good picture of maintenance costs. It would be a big statistics mistake to draw conclusions about expected maintenance costs from just a few reports.
Pikachu went in for his 90K mile service and the SSC 40G Hybrid Battery modification a week ago. I was hoping to have a report by now, but it turns out they needed to replace a "buss bar" in the battery pack and it has a 2 week back order. So far they've only notified me of one other unscheduled maintenance item, the front wheel bearings are being replaced at $450 for each side. :shock:
So it looks like this will be a pretty expensive service. At least the battery work is covered under warrantee. Since the battery modification is taking so long, they offered me a free loaner Corolla, but I opted to use my van instead.
If you're getting the battery modification done (2001-2002 models only), it might take a while to get parts. Note that not all batteries will need parts, only those where corrosion from leakage has been a problem.
I'll finish this report when I get the bill.
