I've had the same thing happening in a brand new car (though not Huyndai) - so "without even looking" sounds quite dumb of him.

Although other possibilities exist, there are two common problems that caus e your scenario on your vehicle:
- The screen in the charcoal canister has rusted away and the loose charc oal is blocking the vapor vent path.
- The canister filter is clogged, similarly preventing venting.
In either case, replacement of the offending component is recommended. The canister is by far the more expensive, so if I find a canister problem, I typically recommend spending a few extra bucks to replace the filter as wel l while everything is off the vehicle and apart.
The estimate sounds a bit high unless they're including a significant amoun t of diagnostic charges (which may indeed be reasonable for finding the loc ation of the issue). For parts and labor to replace the canister without a ny diagnostic time, I'd expect something in the $300 to $550 range.
Maybe you should shop around.

What happens if the tank vent hose is just disconnected from the canister?
