Chevrolet Repair: 2002 chevy venture lt, chevy store, gas gauge

Question
How much to repair a gas gauge?  Got a few estimates, seem high

Answer
HI GLORIA, THIS IS A TOUGH QUESTION BECAUSE I DONT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE GAUGE..
IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SENDING UNIT IN THE TANK. THE TANK WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO GET AT THE SENDING UNIT...SOME YOU CAN JUST REPLACE THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT WHICH IS ABOUT $73.00 PLUS LABOR TO R&R THE TANK, [SORRY, REMOVE AND REPLACE] USUALLY LABOR IS ABOUT 2.5 HOURS FOR THIS JOB. ALSO SOMETIMES DEPENDING ON HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE CAR SOME SHOPS LIKE OURS SUGGEST REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP AT THE SAME TIME..CHEAPER IN THE LONG RUN.SAVES YOU ON LABOR IN THE EVENT THE PUMP FAILS 2 MONTHS LATER. PUMP MODULES ARE NOT CHEAP FROM GM $500 TO $600. OK NOW FOR THE GAUGE IN THE DASH,MOST TIMES YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE DASH GAUGE CLUSTER [ALL IN ONE UNIT. A GUESS $250.00 PLUS LABOR OF 1.5 TO 2 HOURS HOWEVER THIS CAR YOU MAYBE ABLE TO BUY FROM GM JUST THE GAS GAUGE. IF THIS IS THE CASE I WOULD DO THIS. MUCH LESS,GAUGE $75.00 YOU WILL NEED TO CALL YOUR CHEVY STORE AND FIND OUT WHAT IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS CAR. LAST BUT NO LEAST,YOU COULD ALSO BY A USED ONE FROM YOUR LOCAL BONE YARD..DASH GAUGES USUALLY TO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM..WHEN WE BUY A DASH CLUSTER FROM THE JUNK YARD IT USUALLY COST US ABOUT $50.00.LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED MORE INFO...GOOD LUCK TO YOU,,,,TOM...
