my two cents, because i can't help it...

i took my car in with a fuel leak at the fuel pump. i determined that it was the hose there was split. not wanting to mess with it, i took it to the shop. i called them three days later and they said they were working on it still. i couldn't figure it out. then after a week, i called and insisted they tell me wtf was going on. turns out, they replaced the whole fuel line, the return lines, the fuel tube to fuel tank. this entailed dropping the transaxle and fuel tank. i nearly freaked. the labor alone was $1200.

the story does have a silver lining: no more fuel smell in the car whatsoever. the lines are new, the filter is new, and they did good work.

however, i could have purchased my own LIFT for $1K and done the work myself. total bill was in the neighborhood of $1800.
