Hello everyone, I recently had a mobile mechanic, come out and diagnose My 2007. Dodge caravan as needing a new fuel pump. I’m getting it repaired today at a mechanic shop. And the guy said “just so you know if the new fuel pump doesn’t get the car running. You still owe us for the repair job”.
This is throwing off alarm bells that they may try to scam me and not actually replace the fuel pump… Is there any way for me to tell if they have actually replaced the fuel pump? Anything I can look for that might indicate its a new pump or that its actually been replaced?
Did you bring your own pump or decline diagnosis? Either of those things and I wouldn’t warranty/ guarantee it either. As far as telling if they did the work; ask for your old parts (before they work on it) and the fuel pump is located in the gas tank. So you can check to see if the tank has been removed.
No they have the fuel pump and I had a mobile mechanic come out to diagnose, he said fuel pump mobile repair is a hassle so he didnt want to repair it.
Ill be working while they repair it so I cant be given the old pump until im there.
How can I tell the tank has been removed?
The guy can feel sketch about a guy calling to get a quote on the repair job for a repair job all he wants? It was literally “hey I had a mobile mechanic come out and diagnose my van as needing a new fuel pump, just wondering if I could get a quote…ok cool that price works, when can you get me in”
Maybe I offended him because I didnt diagnose it at his shop? Wouldnt surprise me.
