Description
This device pumps fuel from the gas tank to either the carburetor or fuel injection system. If it fails, the car will sputter and come to a stop, much like the feeling when a car runs out of gas. The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank, making repair or replacement a labor intensive job.

$110 to $125
Description
The alternator transforms mechanical energy from a car's battery into electrical energy, producing a steady stream of power to a vehicle's electronics. If there is a problem with the alternator, a vehicle will still be able to run directly off the battery for a time, though you may notice a loss of power to the headlights or other electronic devices. Replacement of the alternator is a standard maintenance job.
Oil & Filter Change (Engine)
$35 to $45
$35 to $45
Description
The engine oil is critical to engine operation. It provides lubrication for the engine and pressure for hydraulic lifters. Most engine failures are from lack of proper lubrication. The oil filter constantly filters out any particles the engine may ingest. Always change your oil and filter according to the service schedule, or sooner, depending on your location and driving patterns.
