In July my car said I had no gas but I knew it was full. Mechanic said both fuel pumps were failing.

Next day, check engine light goes on. Hose wasn’t calibrated correctly.

A month later gas gauge isn’t registering correctly again. One of the new fuel pumps failed. Probably damaged in shipping.

Gas gauge still isn’t right. The mechanic had it for over a week before deciding it is a float in the gas tank. Claiming $2600 in additional parts.

I’ve only paid for the original repair. I only asked about price because I assumed it was cheaper.

Are they trying not to give me any money back. could they have caused the extra damage?
