Hi Adinah, I have a plug-in Toyota and I plan to bring it directly to the
dealership because I don't want to compromise the warranty, and because my
normal mechanic cannot work on it due to the battery and how advanced the
computer technology is. Like David said, I think the dealership is going to
be the best place most of the time. I hope that some of the smaller
mechanics can find a way to get into the business of working on these;
hopefully that will happen over time. I just don't personally know of any
that are doing it now.
Good luck!
