Any suggestions for my mother's 1995 Toyota Corolla that has been chugging and sometimes shutting off?

Since my mother took her 1995 Toyota Corolla in for its usual 3000 mile oil change it has been chugging & sputtering when she drives it at very infrequent times. The garage she takes it to is well-respected & trusted. Her car ran fine ever since she had it and she always kept up on her regular maintenance. She picked it up from the garage last night after they thought they fixed it and it started acting up again on her way to work this morning. They drained & cleaned the fuel tank. She says it sounds like it isn't getting enough gas but the garage ran all their tests and could find no diagnostics. They even had a mechanic who worked for Toyota drive it home & it stalled on him. He could not figure out what was wrong with it either. The owner of the garage said he hates to think it may be the fuel pump but wouldn't that show up when they ran their tests? You can see I don't know much about cars. Other than trading hers in and buying her a new/used car does anyone have any remote ideas?
