At Maxat Hybrid Repair, we’ve specialized in head gasket repairs for Toyota Prius vehicles since 2011. With over 300 successful Prius repairs under our belt, we know exactly how to fix the problem — and how to keep it from coming back. Our service is fast, thorough, and backed by deep experience with hybrid engines.
Prius engines can overheat due to coolant leaks, faulty water pumps, or clogged radiators — all of which stress the head gasket
Loss of coolant with no visible leak often points to a failing head gasket that’s allowing coolant to enter the combustion chamber
A dirty or blocked EGR valve and cooler can lead to poor engine circulation and overheating, accelerating gasket failure
High mileage and age naturally weaken gasket seals, especially in hybrid engines that cycle frequently between electric and gas modes
Certain Prius generations are more prone to head gasket issues due to OEM design limitations — something we’ve seen firsthand in hundreds of repairs

This full package is designed to solve the root problem, not just patch the symptoms. Most cars are ready in two days or less.
If you’re seeing any of these symptoms, book a diagnostic ASAP — catching it early can save your engine.
You bring in your Prius — we start with a full diagnostic to confirm head gasket failure and check for any related issues (coolant system, EGR).
Our techs disassemble the top end of the engine to access the cylinder head and evaluate the condition of the gasket and internal components.
We check the engine block and cylinder head for warping. If the surface isn't perfectly flat, we send it for professional resurfacing to ensure a proper seal.
We install a new OEM Toyota head gasket, plus replace 18+ internal seals to prevent future leaks. Spark plugs, coolant, and engine oil are replaced as part of the service.
We clean the EGR valve and cooler, pressure-test the radiator, and inspect the water pump. If needed, we replace it with an OEM-equivalent part.
The engine is carefully reassembled, filled with fluids, and tested. We run a break-in cycle to ensure proper sealing and performance under real conditions.
Before handing your car back, we wash the engine bay to spot potential leaks, run a final scan, and test drive the vehicle. Most repairs are completed in 1–2 business days.
