Alternatives in PA?
Robert,
I have an 03 Civic hybrid with a dying IMA battery. I've talked with Ron at hybridbatteryrepair.com, and checked out other options, including buying a salvage battery. My very competent and trustworthy mechanic wants to help, but isn't willing to venture into this area, so I'm probably going to end up paying the dealer's price. Two questions, though.
You say "You can repair your own IMA battery for $100-350 including equipment and replacement cells, instead of paying someone $1000 to do it for you, or dropping $3000 at the dealership." I would be happy to pay someone $1,000 to do it as long as I knew they were reliable. Hybridbatteryrepair.com is mentioned all over the place online, but I've seen few testimonials. Do you know of anyone else?
And do you know if IMA prices vary by dealer? Driving a distance would be worth saving some money. Thanks.
Cindy
