If the filters are clean and have been kept clean, the air ducts will not need cleaning. I can see $300 if all of that work is actually done. But the filter change is a simple 10 minute job, and the filters are not expensive. It's a $10 filter for my '21 Avalon.
Toyota hybrid battery fan/filter service.yikes! $319 for Toyota to replace the filters and clean the ducts and fan. and the writeup says, driver seat... not for the HiHy (it's the second row). interesting, thank you. Yea, shop vac seems to be the ticket.... What is the recommended service interval for replacement of these filters?
How much does a hybrid battery cost?
Different makes and models use different hybrid batteries, and it varies depending if the vehicle is a mild hybrid, full hybrid, or plug-in hybrid. The battery pack itself is the majority of the cost with variations ranging from around $1,000 to $6,000, although most batteries for common models tend to be under $3,000.
$300 to change a filter seems preposterous (my word of the day). Maybe it was for full clean out of the ductwork and fan itself too? Not sure how effective the filter is, but a full cleaning, of everything, is warranted at least once, if only to see where you're at. It might be just a little dusty, or virtually a hair ball, depending on situation.
What is a hybrid battery fan filter?
The hybrid battery fan filter offers longer life to your hybrid battery. It is recommended that you check this filter and change it regularly. When you need a new filter, choose a genuine Toyota fan filter for your hybrid. We stock a large selection of OEM hybrid battery fan filters, as well as other Toyota parts.
As for cost to replace, again opinions vary widely, rough estimates range from $1,000 to $8,000+, including parts and labor, again depending on whether it's new, used, rebuilt, reconditioned and who does it. See if the battery only range is still close to when it was new.
Easy do it yourself plus the filters can be cleaned and reused if not too bad. If the filters are clean and have been kept clean, the air ducts will not need cleaning. I can see $300 if all of that work is actually done. But the filter change is a simple 10 minute job, and the filters are not expensive.
