2005 Sienna Fuel Tank R&R Labor Time

Absolutely......I try not to give quotes over the phone, I like to inspect the vehicle & examine what exactly I'm getting myself into if they're over 5 or so years old.

Not much of any corrosion related issues here, But people love to run a leaking vehicle until it becomes untenable OR has dried mud caked level with the frame & expect to be charged "Book Time"??

I'll let that crap fly with a good Lot/Fleet account that spends 20K a year or so....But a random walk/call-in client is not likely to get a pass.

Crap like this gets me, leaking for so long the engine mounts are toast, every clamp and hose rotten, the starter nose is cracked as is the rear housing cap with the brushes and bolts that are going to break all over the place. Book is 1 hr, I will be lucky to get it all apart in that time.
