I highly recommend working with Priuskings. My 2006 Prius had a battery issue and Bob provided fantastic service throughout the whole process. On the first visit he quickly identified the hybrid battery needed to be replaced. I really appreciated the fact he explained the error codes involved, how long batteries last, and what goes into replacing the battery. I told him Id think about it since the car was old, and appreciated his patience while I made a decision.After I decided to make the investment in a new battery, Bob replaced it in under an hour and did a test drive just to make sure it was all set. It felt like he was personally invested in getting my car back on the road. Priuskings was great to work with and I appreciated their expertise and honesty throughout the whole process.

Technician was very helpful. He diagnosed any potential issues with my prius, and analyzed error codes that were prominent. He walked me through each step, and the best part was that he took time off his day as he usually doesnt schedule it on Fridays and let me schedule and appointment last minute. He also did not charge us for the diagnostic as they usually did, which really helped me out as we drove out an hour from our place. Really friendly guy, and really knowledgeable as he owns 3 Gen 2 Prius. Really positive experience and if you are in need of help with your Prius its definitely worth driving out extra, or having them help you schedule and appointment over the phone.

I ended up not needing a batter at the moment but the people who work here were so polite, professional and helpful it blew me away. When the battery needs service I’ll definitely be taking it here!

The dealer offered me a reduced price of $2700 to replace my Hybrid Battery on my 05 Prius. I called Prius Kings and was able to have a battery installed for about $1600. The technician was knowledgeable friendly and courteous here in Boston. The low overhead probably helps with the price. The repair facility is simple and they will come to you. There was good communication. The car is running perfectly. Although they did not promise increased gas mileage, I am experiencing better gas mileage. I have another 05 Prius and will definitely take it to Prius Kings when the Hybrid Battery eventually dies. You cant go wrong with Prius Kings.

It was a pleasure to work with Prius Kings. Aric (the owner) was very responsive and easy to get a hold of by phone and email, and he did a lot to make sure I was a satisfied customer. Bob the mechanic was also very friendly. We talked about all sorts of things while he changed the battery on my car (Hes clearly been doing this for a while because he was able to multitask effortlessly). After my car started acting up a couple weeks later, Bob came down to check that it wasnt the battery (because they are serious about their warranty). It wasnt - it was my cars transmission. Overall a great, honest, and professional company.

Great service! Im happy to have found them upon a co-workers recommendation. Priuskings sent a technician out to my wifes workplace in less than 24 hours after booking an appointment. Our 2007 Camry was diagnosed a week ago with having a bad hybrid battery from Toyota dealership and they wanted over $4600 to do the job and quoted us 6 hours for labor. Priuskings technician did the job in under an hour for less than half the dealers price with a longer warranty. Very easy to deal with, quick and friendly service. Thank you.

Contacted the owner of the business to make an appointment for my hybrid battery to be replaced around my crazy work schedule. They had no problem scheduling a time that worked well for me with fairly short notice! The battery was replaced in under 2 hours and comes with a warranty, depending on which battery you choose. I chose 1 year warranty due to the age of my Prius. I am very happy with the cost and service I received overall. Would definitely recommend.

Ive got a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid. Hybrid battery started to fail (cells dying). This is a hard bite to chew - get rid of car (which is otherwise in good shape/running fine) or replace batter (boo koo bucks). Read lots of good reviews about Priuskings and decided to check them out. Price was right - I could justify keeping the car at least another year and save $ vs. springing for a new car which Im not quite ready to do yet (especially during the pandemic.)Arranged the appt via email. I showed up (a few mins late) - no prob at all. BTW, this is not a car mechanics business you are pulling up to - its a residence driveway! (Why does it matter? It shouldnt/doesnt! Hes got all the stuff he needs to replace the battery!) I was greeted with a smiling face. Tech immediately jumped in car to run diagnostics - to make sure it really was the hybrid battery that was the problem. It was (phew!) I was under the impression this would be a 2-3 hour job. He had it done in an hour! Again, super sweet guy. Very knowledgeable. He even made good recommendations for places to hang out while I wait! I highly recommend!

Review №17

Really grateful to Priuskings for helping me get back on the road quickly after the hybrid battery began to fail in my 2007 Prius. To me its not *just* that it was far cheaper than the dealership, but (once I got over the fact that I was leaving my car at someones house) that this company is a really solid network of knowledgeable, trustworthy technicians. Aric was on the ball with communication and both he and the technician were flexible with my needs and timing. They also noticed the other looming repair Id been putting off, but didnt try to sell me on it at all.So far so good with my car (its only been 5 days) but I definitely recommend this small business to anyone with a hybrid vehicle!

I am so pleased I contacted Priuskings to replace my 05 Prius battery! Not only did they replace the faltering battery at a substantially better price than I was quoted by a local dealer, they were professional, courteous, and demonstrated a level of integrity that made the entire process painless. Robert came to our house and had the new battery installed in just over an hour. The car is driving beautifully! If any other major issues crop up, I wont hesitate to contact them again.

Polite and professional on the phone. I was a little apprehensive when I pulled up at an address that was residential, but Robert impressed me with his experience and knowledge. He did a prompt, complete and professional installation and a thorough test drive afterward, including warning code checks before and after the installation.

All aspects of my experience with with PriusKings were positive. The technician (Bob) was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. He was obviously passionate about the quality of his work, and he took the time to explain to me what he was doing. I would recommend to anyone with hybrid troubles.

I was expecting to need a hybrid battery replacement. It turns out my battery was ok and I was only charged the base charge of $100 for the inspection. I was so grateful for the honesty as I was convinced I needed a battery replacement. Thank You

Bob was amazing. Everything was great from start to finish. His communication was spot on. He came exactly when he said that he would come. He fixed the car. The price was very reasonable. And he told us everything that he was doing and spent time to answer our questions and to leave us as much better educated prius owners. This was a master class in truly great customer service. Thank you.

Trying to find a place that replaces the hybrid in our 2007 Camry with out spending 6000$ From a dealer With 200,000 miles on our car so this place was great on price and service accommodated our time and day bought a 1 year battery 🔋 fingers crossed it will last another 3 years or more

Hands down the BEST experience I have ever had with anyone servicing my car. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Priuskings to anyone. Aric corresponded with me in a more than timely manner and was totally transparent with pricing and process. Robert was the icing on the cake. Friendly, informative, no doubt in my mind he is an absolute expert in HV batteries. If I could rate Priuskings 10 stars I would!

Priuskings was excellent and would highly recommend to anyone who needs to replace their hybrid battery. I called Aric the day my battery failed and he had Robert his technician at my house to replace the battery within 2 days.Robert was friendly and knowledgeable. He had the battery replaced and took it for a test drive within an hour.My Prius is running better than it has in years now.

Excellent service and information from Bob and Aric at PriusKings. Bob truly went above and beyond in ensuring GENUINE service, rates and quotes were given with no BS whatsoever... he even drove our car with us before and after fixing to ensure things were all set and working correctly.The hardest part of ever getting your car assessed to fixed is avoiding the BS-ers out there who care more for the buck than actually your car working correctly.Because they only fix n work on Priuses the lads clearly know what they’re doing and how to fix them fairly!Thanks guys and would highly recommend.

These guys are the best. I was told it would be $5k to replace my hybrid battery in my 2003 Prius back in March, by a dealer. Robert came to my home and ran a diagnostic made a quick little adjustment to the ECU and I was up and running again. Then in March when the Hybrid System light came on again, he came over and found the water pump was not fully functioning. The part was ordered and a week later I brought the car to Robert and he took care of it in just an hour. All together I have spent less than half the estimate just to replace the battery. Thank You.

These guys offered the best deal by far and came to my location within 3 hrs of me calling. My prius is back to getting 58 mpgs. Not bad for a car with almost 290k miles. Thanks! I Highly recommend this service.

Thank you for saving me! I was stuck on i90 and called AAA. They told me the battery had failed. I found this company on google and their tech Robert came out within an hour. It took him about 45 mins to do the job at a rest area in the pouring rain. Car is running great now btw. Ill definitely recommend this company.

2006 Prius hv battery died shortly after purchase. No warranty, and Toyota wanted $4500 for a new battery installed. Decided to gamble on Prius kings. A little over $1500 and the Prius is back in business. They came to my house Sunday morning at 9 and by 945 he was done! The tech was friendly and punctual. Hopefully this battery lasts and I don’t have to try the warranty. If your battery is dead don’t waste your money at the dealership

Robert was very helpful and brought my car back to life. He re-built the hybrid battery in my nissan altima and the car is running better than ever with better mpgs than before. The cost was under $1500 including the removal and installation. I would recommend these guys for sure. Thank You!

I don’t usually post reviews but this is worth it (please read):I had a spinning noise coming out of somewhere next to the grey box in front (prius), it kept getting louder and louder and no mechanic knew what it was, so I had to take to Toyota, 135$ for a diagnostic. The report came out and they told me I needed a new battery and a bunch of stuff, 8000$ in total.As I was waiting for my car I was just planning to sell it or drive it until it dies, but fortunately I met a person in the waiting area who told me about these people, I went there hopeless, and met Bob, super nice guy, ran a scan of the computer came out the same but detailed, however I didn’t need a new battery it’s just normal wear and tear.And he found out that the noise was coming out a pump, because I had no antifreeze (completely drained) and the pump was working with no fliud and that was it, bought the fliud for 15 dollars and circle gets the square. Honestly, don’t go to Toyota, go to bob he’ll fix your car up.

I had great experience with PriusKing! I recently purchased a Prius C 2012 with over 100k miles. I was worried and really wanted to know the health of the hybrid battery. Toyota dealers couldn’t help but PriusKing was able to get me an appointment next day. Tech Bob was amazing. He ran a report and then explain me everything on the report. Bob also took some time to drive around with me and gave some great tips. Thanks Bob and PriusKing! Highly recommend!

Review №43

Called to ask a pretty general question about my Prius and why it would not start, the guy on phone quickly asked if I was even in Massachusetts. He completely disregarded my question and immediately wanted me to pay for a technician to come take a look. Needless to say he wasn’t helpful whatsoever and clearly money hungry. If I have another problem with my car this place WILL NOT be the place I take it too.

I delayed reviewing so I could be sure everything worked well over time and some significant miles. It did! The service was excellent, and my car now gets better mileage than it has in the last 5 years! I have a 12 year old Prius that the battery died on. I wanted to keep the car but a new battery from the dealer cost more than the car was worth...Prius Kings provided the perfect solution for less than half what the dealer wanted. I opted to upgrade the battery to a newer (but still used) higher capacity version (that was still compatible) and had a 12 month warranty. Installation was smooth, Robert was very professional and on time. Best of all he did it in my driveway within a day of me calling so I didnt have to worry about the risk of driving or towing. They test all the cells in the replacement battery individually (and replace the weak ones) so you dont risk getting someone elses problem like if you bought a battery from the junkyard.

My wife and I were having trouble with our Prius outside of Boston. We were directed by Aric to Bob who works out of his home in Somerville. He was terrific! He did the diagnostic test and essentially told us it was the 12v battery. We ended up having him replace it a couple of days later (he changed his schedule for us after we needed to move the time due to weather). We havent had any issues since. Bob was a great guy and really a pleasure to work with. Aric was nice over the phone as well. Highly recommend!
