Lol, I just called a local AAA radiator and brake shop today, and the guy tried to sell me a new tank, he also would not listen to what I had to say, and kept asking me about year make model... what a douche bag.
I will try some other local shops on monday. As a side note, I found out why my fuel gauge did not work! The bloke who last changed the fuel pump must have removed it... currently waiting on a replacement one.
Was the 350 for a complete job, or just to bring the tank in? I found price quotes of around $100 from other people who did the radiator shop thing.
And where did you get the 357 price for a fuel tank? I only found one from Mazda at $1200!
