Most of us have been there. Now that you've found this board, it will be different for you next time! You can replace the pump, coolant, and belts yourself in one afternoon for under $80. The pro shops can do it in less than an hour, but they typically charge you a couple of hours of labor, plus $20 for a gallon of coolant, old coolant disposal fees, etc., etc. And you pay three or four times their cost for the part itself, too. No doubt about it -- it's a money-making racket for them.
