Default Need a shop that quotes actual time, not from the book

Long story short, my 07 is suffering from both A) water intrusion into the driver's fuel tank (I suspect it's entering from the hatch drainage, beyond that I don't know), and 2) the infamous fuel level sender(s) are toast.

Yes, I've tried using Techron. No, that didn't change anything.

I have neither the time nor space to R&R the senders myself. Most shops I've contacted (I'm in Fullerton) quote book hours (around 10 for the driver's side, +2 for the passenger) to complete the job, but I know it can be accomplished in around 4-6 hours for someone familiar with the job.

I'm looking for a shop that has done this job enough to quote a estimated flat rate, because $1,500 in labor alone just feels ridiculous to me. I've already contacted Corvette Mike's and West Coast Corvettes, they quoted me book hours.

Any help is appreciated!

I know it's a little bit of a drive, but American Heritage in Harbor City can possibly help in this situation.

Have you checked on the Recall that the dealer may have on your Car?

Some of the C6's are on the recall list for the cracked gas tanks.

Ran out two years ago, my car is an 07 and coverage was extended to 10 (or 11, I forget) years and 100,000 miles, I know because I have access to GM VIS. I’ve also been unable to find a dealer that’s willing to goodwill the repair. Regardless, I appreciate the response and I’ll reach out to you tomorrow.
