What an honest workshop can tell you
There is no honest set price for a fuel pump replacement — and anyone quoting one sight-unseen is guessing with your money. On this job the figure genuinely moves with in-tank versus high-pressure pump — different jobs entirely; whether the fault is pump, relay, wiring or filter; and tank access on your model. So we don’t guess: we find the actual cause first — our $374 incl. GST pre-paid diagnostic, a reserved two-hour booking with a written report, not a free quote, then you get a fixed written price for your car before any work starts. The written figure is the only number that binds anyone — hold every workshop to that standard, including us.
What drives the cost
Fuel-pump cost depends on the type and access — many are in-tank (the tank may need dropping), and high-pressure pumps on direct-injection engines cost more than older low-pressure pumps. Confirming it’s the pump (not a relay, filter or sensor) comes first.
Access and pump type drive the figure for your exact car.
What the job involves
We test fuel pressure to confirm the pump, replace it with a quality part (and the filter/strainer where appropriate), and verify correct pressure afterwards.
