I recently had to get some work done on my Prius. I got stranded and had the car towed to the dealer. The problem was a bad water pump that caused the inverter to overheat and blow a fuse. $600.
While it was there, they noticed a couple other things they could fix for another $600. I won't be take that offer.
The first repair involved taking apart most of the front end to get to the pump. I'm not doing that.
The second repair involves removing the steering wheel and replacing the "spiral cable" which is neither spiral nor looks like a cable. I can do that myself.
Some work is worth the cost. Other work is just squeezing money out of you. We do have to be careful.

If you can do it yourself then that is great. I wouldn't even attempt this as I know my capabilities. Fixed a radiator once which was easy to get to and saved a fortune. Yes we have to watch our spend right now.
Oh, I YouTubed the repair. That’s how I know I can do it. The dealership made a mistake in diagnosing the problem for free to try to up sell. Once I knew the problem, I was able to search how to fix it.
