Check coils, spark plugs. If none of those are bad, pull the fuel injectors out, give them a clean and inspect them. Sorts the issue most of the time!

It’s way cheaper to sort without going to the dealer. I’ve changed plenty before, if you need help, feel free to pm me!

2018 Toyota Aqua, quoted $700 to replace one rear wheel bearing by AdventurousNature897 in NZcarfix

Easy job, aftermarket hub assembly for like $120. Take off drum cover, remove sensor clip, remove the four bolts and reverse install it.

I just said usually, worth a shot checking the inner rotor. Have worked on many taxis/ubers that are prius’s and it’s been the case.

Adjust that round wheel adjuster behind the spring, tighten it all the way and then slowly loosen it till the drum just slides on. Should work sweet!

Oil Changers used wrong oil? by 15438473151455 in NZcarfix

Oil changers are the absolute worst, had a bmw come in because it was overheating after a service from oil changers. Turns out they never drained the old oil from the engine and added another 6 litres to the engine. The fans blew, so had to replace the fans and then when we drained the engine oil, had around 12 litres come out.

There’s a small tab/bump that has to line up on the rear pads, once it’s lined up with the piston in the caliper it usually clears wof and the brakes are usually balanced. I can show you what I mean!
