Luckily, I was near a shop when it happened so we just rolled her in. The tech originally quoted about $800 if they had to drop the tank but when I checked on the status yesterday (their originally stated timeline), they said it could be a few grand due to how complicated it would be for this make/model.

Does this sound normal or are they just trying to raise the floor and take me for a ride? I googled $500-$1000 for dropping a tank, which I was told is the nuclear option to avoid if possible.
