My chevy van "excellent condition for the year" was leaking gas when I was putting gas in it. I noticed the hoses on the gas tank were dry rotted and cracked. I pulled in and told the owner I wanted the gas tank removed and new rubber hoses installed. Simple. Couple hour job for a rookiewith no lift. Simply drop the tank down, pull off the cracked vent hose, fill hose and fuel line. Put new ones on and put the tank back I am also a skilled mechanic but am now disabled and cannot do this repair. He told me this would cost several thousand dollars "WHAT!. Then he said it would wind up sitting there for months "why? I thought". He suggested I find an antique car
restoration company. Really? Are you kidding me? It's just a simple carbureted chevy van. I just needed a few hoses replaced to stop a simple small leak. Super easy. I was willing to spend a few hundred for labor, though we never got that far. It was like he couldn't hear me explain it just needed some hoses or just refused to hear what I said out of arrogance. My daughter and I walked out thinking "what the hell was this idiot just talking about? "Thousands of dollars ".
This was the most ridiculous thing a mechanic has ever told me. Disgusted I went home. My 17 year old daughter and her boyfriend dropped the tank and replaced all the "3" hoses. It took her about four hours "many breaks and they are not mechanics". It cost about $20 for new hoses and clamps. Done. Runs like new. I dont recommend this mechanic as he was unreasonable, condescending and apparently is unskilled in working on a simple uncomplicated, un-computerized, carbureted chevy.
