At 102,000 miles, I just had the bearing in my water pump seize. It threw the belt, and was visibly cock-eyed. (A problem when they use only one bearing to save space under the hood)
I supplied the parts to my dealer (I am without a garage currently & it was a cold weekend!) @ $80 hour.
NAPA Water Pump (new, not rebuilt) - $96
Serpantine Belt from Pepboys - $30
The dealer confirmed the belt was the right part #, but far shorter than necessary (7-8 inches), so I had to buy a $65 GOODYEAR belt.
Bill was 1.5 hours labor for the pump and 1 hour labor for the belt (install of first, removal and install of second) plus cost. I forgot to supply, and they forgot to charge me for the antifreeze!
TOTAL COST -------> $385
Pepboys cost me $75!!! ($40 in additional labor and the $35 difference in cost)
