Actually closer to $1400, to be precise it was $1386.95. Based on google searches, it seems that "fuel injector/top end cleaning" simply means putting an additive into the fuel.
I do understand that it is difficult and expensive ($700) to change the spark plugs in an FRS but it still seems like a lot.
So many questions...
1) If the fuel was not bad, why wouldn't my car start? The inspector said he gets at least 10 calls when there is bad gas and this time no other complaints about this station were made. I will ask him to check the sample I received from Toyota.
2) Can the shop truly detect bad gas, bad spark plugs, etc., or were they just guessing?
3) Even assuming it was necessary to raise the engine and fuel tank to change the plugs and clean the top end/fuel injector, how long does that take? Is $1121.85 for labor reasonable?
