So about a week ago my MIL came on and I brought it into the dealership. It has about 21k miles on it, so I figured it would be under warranty. They read the codes and said that it was an evap leak.
They had it up on the lift and showed me that one of the evap tubes had been "chewed" through by some rodent. I believe it was tube #17. It looked like it had a hairline crack in it, but I was a little skeptical
They said that they didn't have the part in stock, but they would overnight it and that the total for repair would be about $300. Does that seem right? Do they need to drain the gas tank for this?
Would it be fair for me to ask for the shipping receipt, I think the part only costs like $5 and this seems like a steep charge for such a simple fix.
THANKS!
PS sorry for my first post being asking for help, I have lurked a long time and love to read about people problems/fixes/mod/jokes.
