Our Toyota-trained team can verify battery health and confirm whether replacement is needed. For convenience, schedule service online and check service specials before you come in.

The 2014 Toyota Prius-C depends on the 12‑volt battery to power computers and relays so the car can enter Ready mode. A weak battery can strand you unexpectedly in Phoenix traffic. Head directly to our Peoria service center or schedule service for a same- or next-day visit.

  • Carry a jumper pack only as a short-term safeguard
