Platinum Plus is the one that will tow you 100 miles.
Thanks. I was in hurry when renewing from my 10 year regular membership earlier this year and was focused on two things. One I needed my other trailers covered, car trailer etc, and two I wanted some allowance to tow the vehicle to my home. I understand that once it's home no other towing would be covered.
I thought I had both those avenues covered with the Platinum level based on reading the one brochure I had at the time, but obviously I was in error.
Oh well, the vehicle in question is back in service. Failed fuel pump, which of course is in the tank and the tank is of course a real pain to remove. Not to mention the 15 gallons of fuel that had to be drained from it first.
Book rate at the independent mechanic was 4.5 hours @ 110/hr. plus some sort of hazardous material handling fee (for handling the fuel I guess) and of course tax. I don't know what a dealer service would charge.
New Oem fuel pump/sending unit: $318 at Oreillys, $330 at napa, $180 at rockauto with 4 days to ship and about the same at GM parts direct, and $197 from Amazon with free two day shipping. I went with Amazon.
Job took me Saturday and Sunday to complete, don't recall how many hours each day but they weren't full days. It ended up being a 6 beer, 3 swear word job by the time it was over. :)
