$1300 to repair FRS for bad gas, does that sound right?
Bought $20 worth of gas yesterday afternoon at a Mobil station, went to a car meet about 12 miles away, and then after the meet the car would not start. Had it towed to the Toyota dealership, they said the problem was bad gas and would cost $1300 to fix. They said they would have to "raise the motor and the fuel tank" because the spark plugs and other parts were affected by the bad gas and would have to be replaced. They said they saved a sample of the gas I could take to the gas station and ask for reimbursement.
I'm no car expert, but does this sound right? We have bought gas from the same Mobil station for years with no problems. Which parts require lifting of the motor and fuel tank and is it clear they would need to be replaced? My neighbor accidentally put gas in his diesel car and all they did was drain the gas and run some additive through the system, cost him about $400.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
