Tim Jacob has spent decades working exclusively on Prius models, earning a reputation for trust, skill, and specialized expertise. He’s helped countless owners extend the life of their vehicles—often saving them thousands—and many of those customers won’t take their Prius anywhere else. Tim will drive up to 100 miles (which would include Springfield) if it is a battery reconditioning or replacement matter. That said, other repairs are done at his new shop: Jacob Automotive LLC, located in Golden, Missouri. Despite the distance, customers regularly make the drive from and hour or two away. If you're coming from Springfield, it might take about an hour and a half—but for most, it’s more than worth it. Why? Because Tim doesn’t just fix cars—he helps people understand them. In my own experience, he saved my wife’s Prius from a major expense and gave us practical advice that will help both of our hybrids last much longer. That kind of honesty and specialized expertise is hard to find. Tim is widely regarded as one of the top hybrid specialists in Missouri and Arkansas, especially when it comes to Prius battery reconditioning. His approach has saved many customers significant money compared to full battery replacements. If your Prius or hybrid needs a new battery or more than a quick fix, it’s worth the drive to Golden. You’ll not only get excellent service—you’ll likely learn something that helps you avoid future repairs.
