How many mechanics does it take to start a Prius- 2 ! I had to start my Prius because the employees did not know how- with 2 different employees.
I had it in for an oil change.
The dealershio sells 3 a year. It can only bring in pre sold Prius's. No demo to test drive. Needless to say I bought it elsewhere.
The dealership has only one trained prius tech- although he has won a national tech award and is very knowledgeable.
My local (non toyota ) mechanic says he has received warnings from (transport canada?) on the servicing of hybrids. He says its regulation that the mechanic working on the Prius has to wear a special grounding harness and a teather (non conductive i assume) is held by a second tech. ready to pull his away in case of shock!!!
Our local Toyota dealer only has 1 trained Tech. They obviously can't follow this rule.
Are there similar regulations in the USA?
