I am a technician that can repair the Hybrid H/V Battery for your car.
Are your local dealer charging you R20,000 for replacement of the faulty Hybrid Battery ??
Bare in mind this cost is excluding the ECU and Labour. I was also charged R33,000 by my local dealer too. So I know the frustration you are going through. Unfortunately they also offered R10,000 to buy my faulty Prius. Ridiculous right ?
I can save you the trouble. I can repair the Hybrid H/V Battery myself. I am based in Centurion, Pretoria.
I will need the car +-2 days and the deposit of R2,500. The total amount will depend on the number of faulty cells in your Prius H/V Batter Pack. Usually only replacement of one cell is needed to get you back on the road. Remember I am not a Business, I do repairs from home as a hobby.
My charges total R5,000 and includes one cell replacement, testing of all cells and labour. I am only one person and it is quite a bit of work to disassemble and uninstall, test aswell as reassemble and reinstall and this takes time.
As an alternative, if you want to, you can bring me the faulty Battery Pack and I will test and fix it for R3,500 which includes the first cell, there after R2,000 per extra cell that needs replacement and repairs done the same day. You can drop off the PowerPack in the morning and collect again the afternoon and only R2,000 deposit is needed to start the repair and the balance on collection. More than 5x Cell replacement gets too costly but I will only charge R10,000 for replacement of the 5x Faulty Cells including Labour.
We can also make arrangements if i need to travel around South Africa in order for me to help and get you back on the road. I am also willing to sell stand alone cells at R2,000 each.
Please e-mail or WhatsApp me at the supplied details.
