I'm looking for a recommendation for an Auckland garage, preferably East AKL, that you have found to be good at faultfinding an intermittent fault in a Prius Gen 3.  The annoyance is:  Sometimes it won't "start" (ie go to Ready) when "started" -- but will do so after a number of goes. Annoys SO (and hence me) a lot!

 

I don't want to go to the main dealers because I had a problem with them a few years ago -- their diagnosis was a new traction battery ($$$$) but we got it fixed for little more than $0.10!

 

Thanks, anyone

Order any Uber / rideshare. Cancel until you get a driver of a Prius & ask him?

 

Scanning the Facebook Uber group previously, Otahuhu seemed like the closest to East AKL.

Thanks for this, good idea -- I joined the NZ Uber facebook group, posted by request there, and have an excellent possibility already--a Toyota trained tech.
