i just paid my mechanic $400 for something, and now 3 days later my car wont start. so i pay $50 to get it towed in there, this dude tells me its the gas pump now.

i think these dudes are sabotaging my car or someting, to keep me coming in. anyway, i ask them what it would be and he says he dont know yet until the parts store opens back up on monday

anyone know where i can find and how much a gas pump is for a 91 accord
and what is the difficulty of the job?
whats a good est. for a mechanic to charge for this, if its over $150 i aint getting it done, **** my car

 

i would say its going to be at least 2 hours shop labor time plus the parts cost.

you have to remove the gas tank to get to the fuel pump on 90-93 accords.

 

you mean a fuel pump?

gas pump is them things that you get gas from at wawa and sunoco and such

What kind of work did you have done?

 

depending on what the mechanic did to the car you could just take it back. it sounds like maybe it was his fault due to the timing but i cant imagine why he would mess with teh fuel pump unless hes trying to hustle you

 

What was the first thing you paid him to do?It might be his fault.I don't trust most mechanics,I try to do as much as possible myself.

 

i just changed the fuel pump on my 90 integra. its probably pretty much the same. i dont have a lift, and we dropped my gas tank in my driveway. it wasnt that hard and was done a few hours.

yo wzup dude, these ******** banned my original name cause i got into some beef with some guys in GD. wasnt even my fault either. but o well

 

yo man what did he do to ur car dude? just take it back and tell him that he fucked it up and he should fix it.
check the car ur self man. check if u getting spark and check if u getting fuel.
don't trust the mechanics lol

 

dude is saying i need a fuel assembly. telling me its $450 including labor. but only 90 for just labor, i know what the fuel pump is, but anybody know what the whole assembly is

 

the assembly is where the fuel pump is mounted.

the inline fuel pump should be over 100-150 for stocker.

the assembly is another story, it's the plastic casing of the float(to get signal for your fuel guage, etc

Dude, should have done it yourself. the hardest part is the drop the tank, which isnt that hard after all. all the installation is straight removal and bolt up. Sounds like he charged your *** off with the labor

 

hey man. call the guy of that place on northeast philly. if he says that u will need that then just do it there. but i don't think he will charge u about $500 for that ****. just call him and ask how much will it cost to fix that ****.
