A typical replacement cost for a 2006 Camry fuel pump (installed) is about $500–$1,100, depending on parts choice, labor rates, and regional pricing. The exact price varies by engine type, whether you use an OEM or aftermarket pump, and whether the fuel tank needs extra work.
Fuel pumps for this generation Camry are in-tank assemblies that include the pump and sending unit. Prices can differ based on the engine option (2.4-liter inline-four or the 3.0-liter V6), the seller (dealer vs. aftermarket), and the labor required to access and install the unit. Below is a breakdown to help you estimate costs and plan accordingly.
Typical price ranges for a 2006 Camry fuel pump
Prices reflect the cost of parts and labor and can vary by engine type and region. The following ranges provide a ballpark figure for most common scenarios.
- OEM Toyota fuel pump module (dealer parts): typically about $300–$450 for the 2.4L engine, with possible higher costs for the V6 or special configurations
- Aftermarket fuel pump module (matched to Camry): typically about $150–$250
- Labor to remove and install the fuel pump (in-tank, plus any necessary tank work): typically $200–$600, depending on shop rates and whether the fuel tank must be dropped
- Additional fees (core charge, taxes, shop supplies): often $0–$75, though some shops may add a small core or disposal fee
In most cases, the total installed price falls in the range of about $500–$1,100, with regional differences and vehicle specifics pushing the total outside that band on either end.
Factors that influence the price
Several variables can push the price up or down. Here are the main considerations to keep in mind when budgeting for a fuel pump replacement.
Engine option and pump compatibility
The 2006 Camry offered a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter V6. Both use an in-tank fuel pump module, but part numbers and, occasionally, labor nuances differ. OEM and aftermarket module prices are the primary drivers of cost, with OEM parts typically costing more but offering a closer fit and factory warranty.
Labor costs and installation complexity
Labor charges vary widely by region and shop. If the tank must be dropped or fuel lines disconnected for access, expect higher labor hours. Urban areas and dealer services tend to be more expensive than independent shops. Typical installation times range from 2 to 4 hours, but complexity can raise that estimate.
Warranty, parts choice, and warranties
OEM parts usually come with a Toyota-backed warranty that covers defects for a year or longer in some regions, while aftermarket pumps may offer varying warranties (often 1–3 years). A longer warranty can be a deciding factor even if the upfront price is higher.
How to get an accurate quote
To obtain a precise price, contact local shops with your vehicle’s details and preferences. Helpful information includes your Camry’s engine type (2.4L or 3.0L), whether you want OEM or aftermarket parts, and whether you’re comfortable with the possibility of tank-access work. Ask for a written estimate that itemizes parts, labor, taxes, and any core charges.
Summary
For a 2006 Toyota Camry, plan for a total installed cost in the ballpark of $500–$1,100, recognizing that OEM parts and regional labor rates can push the price higher or lower. Evaluate OEM versus aftermarket options, factor in labor time and potential tank work, and request detailed quotes from multiple shops to find the best balance of price and warranty.
