How much does a Toyota fuel pump cost?
Most Toyota fuel pump replacements installed at a shop cost about $450 to $1,200, with the pump part itself ranging roughly $200 to $700. The exact price depends on model, whether you choose OEM Toyota parts or aftermarket equivalents, and labor rates in your area.
The price reflects the complexity of the job: the fuel pump is typically located inside the fuel tank, and replacement often requires draining the tank, removing components, and sometimes replacing seals or the sending unit. Diagnostic or shop fees can also affect the total.
What goes into the price
Prices vary by model year and pump type; there are two main price drivers: part cost and labor in the shop. The Toyota fuel pump is generally inside the fuel tank and is part of a pump module, so replacement can involve significant disassembly depending on the model.
Here are typical component costs you can expect when shopping for a replacement:
- Aftermarket fuel pump module: approximately $200–$450 for the pump assembly, depending on model and supplier.
- OEM Toyota fuel pump (genuine): approximately $350–$700, with some models or dealer pricing pushing higher.
- Other potential parts or fees: core charges, shipping, taxes, and clamps or hoses if needed.
Part prices vary by model and supplier; check your specific model year and trim to get an exact quote from a parts retailer or dealer.
Labor costs and total installed price
Labor is a major portion of the total, because many Toyota fuel pumps are accessed by dropping or removing the fuel tank. The time and hourly rate largely determine the cost.
What follows are the typical labor considerations and how they translate into total installed price:
- Labor time and rate: Most installations take about 2–4 hours; at typical shop rates of roughly $80–$150 per hour, labor costs run about $160–$600.
- Total installed price: Adding the pump and labor, most Toyota fuel pump replacements fall in the $450–$1,200 range, with higher-end models, hybrids, or difficult access possibly reaching $1,500 or more.
- Additional costs: diagnostic fees, disposal fees, taxes, and any required ancillary parts (hoses, clamps, sending unit seals) can add to the total.
When budgeting, get a written estimate that itemizes parts and labor, and confirm whether the price includes tax and any shop disposal fees.
Summary
In short, Toyota fuel pump replacement costs vary by model and part choice but typically range from about $450 to $1,200 installed. Expect part costs in the $200–$700 range and labor in the $160–$600 range, with the exact total influenced by model, region, and service specifics. Always request a detailed quote from a reputable shop and compare OEM versus aftermarket options, warranties, and any diagnostic charges.
