Egad! I see this is almost $500. IIRC that the service
contract is $900 (and if it goes through 30K), I think I'll
get one for my next Prius. The maintenance costs are a killer.

(I'm also going to check the dealership where I bought my car.
Perhaps it is cheaper.)

Find a different dealership. Here in Phoenix, the dealers charge $295,
and I think that's way high.

I agree - I do ours myself (on our Classics) in an afternoon, and I work on
cars very slowly. $500 is about the price of a timing belt change on a
Honda, which is not in the same league by any stretch.

Sigh. I see it would (literally) pay to check around. Too
bad my local dealership wouldn't match prices (at least I
assume they wouldn't).

Thanks, I will check around. $200 is a large price to pay for
convenience.
