Prius Head Gasket Repair with Purpose
Black River Hybrids was built to give Prius owners a better option when dealership repairs feel too expensive, too limited, or too focused on replacing the entire engine.
Built from hands-on Prius training.
After learning about the common Gen 3 Prius head gasket issue, often showing up around 160kβ220k miles, I saw how many Toyota Prius owners were in the Minneapolis, Madison, and La Crosse area.
I traveled to Tampa, Florida, to train with experienced Prius mechanics at Tampa Hybrids. During that training, I learned the process needed to replace head gaskets professionally and bring that service back to Wisconsin.

Many Prius owners first notice rough starts, coolant loss, misfire codes, or white smoke before learning the head gasket may be failing.

Located in Onalaska, Wisconsin.
We serve Prius and Lexus hybrid owners from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and surrounding areas. For many owners, towing the car here can still make more financial sense than paying dealership pricing.
When a dealership diagnoses a blown head gasket, options can feel limited.
Prius owners are often left choosing between expensive repairs, replacing the entire motor, selling the car cheaply, or trading it in for far less than it may be worth.
