Most likely the sending unit and cleaning the electrical wiper part or using fuel additive like Techron doesn't work. Sometimes cleaning the wiper may help but only after removing the sending unit.
Your mechanic is wrong. On 2000 and up Lesabre you can replace the complete fuel pump assembly or just the level/float sending unit without dropping the gas tank. There is an access cover located in the trunk behind the rear passenger seat so you can pull the fuel pump assembly. Cheaper just to replace the sending unit and do the work DIY. About $85 from certain AC Delco parts suppliers. GM dealer excluded.
