Swapping out the engine in a Toyota Prius can be quite pricey and a real time commitment. The estimated cost for this task can vary from $2,870 to upwards of $4,580 for parts alone. Opting to have a professional mechanic handle the engine switch will require you to shell out approximately $1,580 to $2,248 in labor expenses.
To install a new engine in a Toyota Prius, you can expect to pay anywhere from $2,300 to $3,100. Labor costs typically range from $1,100 to $1,500, while parts will be in the range of $1,200 to $1,600 for a used engine. Keep in mind that new engines are considerably pricier.
A dealer quoted me $12,000 for engine replacement, but other dealers I reached out to didn't reply. Independent shops gave labor estimates of $1800 and $4500, but they couldn't provide part estimates. I also got quotes for used engines: $1300 for a short block, $3100 for a long block, and $3800 for a rebuilt long block.
