Trustworthy Garage that can work on a plug-in Hybrid/EV?

I've got a 21 Toyota Rav4 Prime XSE that has started throwing some warnings on my dash, most notably "Plug-in charging system malfunction" and it is no longer charging. Stopped seemingly in the middle of the night last night when it was at about 75%. Also gave me "check engine" and "headlight system malfunction". I know hybrids can get weird when the 12V battery is low. After driving around town all day, I disconnected and reconnected it the 12V, and all the warnings went away. I drove it for 5 minutes and all was good. Then plugged it in and it still wouldn't charge and gave me the warning again.

So I suspect something may actually be wrong, but to be frank I don't trust Fredericton Toyota's service department - every time I bring a vehicle there they seem to find other expensive things "wrong" with it that actually are not critical rather than getting to the simple root of the problem.

So who around town is trustworthy and savvy with PHEVs? Thanks!
