If you own a Gen 3 Prius, head gasket replacement may be in the cards. That’s because Gen 3s are prone to head gasket failures. Fortunately, at Toole’s Garage Stockton we are hybrid specialists, so we can take great care of your Prius, and should it turn out that it needs head gasket replacement, our nationally ASE certified technicians have the skill, state-of-the-art digital tools, and experience to make your Prius healthy again.

At Toole’s Garage in Stockton we offer comprehensive Prius services and repairs. Head gasket replacement is only one of, literally, hundreds of Prius services and repairs we perform.

Since Prius head gasket replacement is a major repair, we will diagnose your vehicle to make sure that head gasket replacement is what it truly needs.  Our technicians, certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), will get to the root cause of the problem, before we ask you to authorize any repairs.

Typical symptoms of a Prius head gasket failure include rattling and shaking (especially when started), and the check engine light will come “On”. These symptoms are not to be ignored – driving with a blown head gasket can cause additional engine damage.

So if you have any concerns about your Prius, call Toole’s Garage, and we will be able to answer your questions and confirm an appointment at the same time. All work performed by our hybrid specialists comes with a nationwide 36 months / 36,000 miles warranty.
