Why K&N Filters Are Terrible For Your Toyota Prius
By Peter Neilson on
When it comes to innovation, there are products out there which actually do enhance the way our vehicles perform.

What The Future Of Toyota Prius Battery Repair Could Look Like
By Peter Neilson on
There are a flood of Toyota Prius cars that are on the road today. In these generations of cars we see that there are anywhere from 28 to 32 battery modules that make up the hybrid battery.

With many repair and refurbish places creeping up all the time, these battery modules will eventually get too worn out to use again. My thoughts are that this market will not die, but evolve, and here is how.

The Toyota Prius is more than a car. I believe that when it was engineered, the Japanese army gave it some DNA from a tank. Even though this tank-esque car is unbelievably reliable, it still has areas that can prove to be pesky as the miles climb up and the maintenance gets avoided.
