It sounds like you (your GF) might be headed for a taking, although probably okay at the dealer.
My GF drives a 95 Civic CX, and she had her water pump go. It can be done DIY. See the link below to a very detailed write-up. I had wanted to do it, but it was more of an emergency, and I was working.
Turned out to be about $450 at an indy. This included the belt and water pump, and I am pretty sure it is a 3 hour "book" job, although it took them 4. The pump itself and belts are peanuts, maybe $150-$200 on the extreme side, and another $20 for coolant. So that gives you $200 maybe in parts + $300 in labour for $500 total. It should all be done at the same time, so I am not sure where they come up with $600 + $200 + $100 = $900. Perhaps that's if it is done seperately?!
Either way, I thought you should know. Good luck! Thanks.
