They've put 2 fuel pumps in our truck in the last 27 months and today it needs another one. First one lasted 15 months, second lasted 12 months and 11 days. Both just over the 12 month warranty period. Each fuel pump job cost well over $1000. A friend recommended another mechanic. We called him and he advised us that ever since ethanol has been added to gasoline (past 3 or 4 years) it's been destroying certain types of fuel pumps really fast, like ours. He said there are after-market fuel pumps designed to fix the ethanol problem but the dealerships including Depaula refuse to use the after-market fuel pumps. Dealerships are knowingly using the regular GM fuel pumps that can't handle the ethanol problem and they don't care. The other mechanic also quoted $750 to replace the fuel pump again, a clear indication that Depaula is grossly overcharging.
