#9 of 10 Why a Dealer?

I've heard that service on hybrids is more expensive from my local mechanic. It's a "discouragement" point to buying one.
I used to take my Buick to the dealer for a variety of service. When I found something local I noticed the prices were quite a bit different. Lower.
In fact dealers have a reputation for being really big ripoffs.
For your hybrid what does the 3,000 mile oil change cost you?
#10 of 10 Can anyone recommend a good hybrid mechanic in Los Angeles?

I have a 2001 Prius which I bought used last year. It has been a great experience and given me no problems at all. I am about to embark on a move across country and will need to drive my prius. I want to take the car to a hybrid mechanic and get it tuned up and checked out, however I want to make sure the person I take it to is reliable and not going to jack up their prices and tell me that there are things wrong with my car that aren't. I'm a single woman and that makes me very gullible.
