What Should I Expect for a Fuel System Service Cost?

Hey Guys,

I’m considering getting a fuel system service for my 2015 Honda Accord, but I’m not exactly sure what to expect in terms of cost. My car has been running a bit rough lately, and I’ve heard that a fuel system service can help improve performance and fuel efficiency.

Could anyone provide some insight on the typical cost for this type of service? Are there any specific factors that could influence the price, such as the type of fuel system cleaner used or additional repairs that might be needed?

Also, if you’ve had this service done before, did you notice a significant improvement in your car’s performance afterward?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You’re right to consider a fuel system service for your 2015 Honda Accord, especially if it’s been running rough lately!

  • Cost: $150-$400 depending on location, service type (basic vs comprehensive cleaning), and mechanic’s labor rates.
  • Improvements: Can lead to smoother idling, better performance, and potentially improved gas mileage if rough running is due to dirty fuel injectors.
  • Not a magic fix: Might not solve the problem entirely if the cause is elsewhere (spark plugs, ignition coils).
  • Talk to a mechanic for diagnosis and service recommendations.
  • Get quotes from different shops.
  • DIY option: Basic cleaning with fuel system cleaners from auto parts stores

Techron is a cost-effective cleaning solution for most tasks, while more extensive cleaning like dropping the fuel tank, flushing lines, cleaning injectors, and changing the filter can cost hundreds. A 1988 BMW owner found a cheaper option for rebuilt injectors at a local shop for $69, allowing them to clean their engine and assess the overall cleanliness of the internal parts.
