I took my little tow car in for an oil change and asked about a problem I was having in that sometimes it didn't want to start. They recommended cleaning the gas filter and line. All that was required to do this was remove a hose, connect a canister of cleaner and then watch it drip into the fuel line for 30 minutes. I'm sure the materials cost was $10 or less and the actual labor maybe 10 minutes. Cost $109.00. With the oil change $155.00 I'm currently in Apache Junction, AZ a snowbird haven. The kid at the lube place told me that this time last year they had cars wrapped around the building all day, doing 60 -70 cars per day. Now a good day is 20.
