$327 to replace a couple of 10 cent o-rings

Finally decided to deal with the coolant that was leaking out of my 2000 Aero. It's been 2 years and it's gotten progressively worse (every day a puddle by the passenger front tire.) I was pretty sure it was bad o-rings on the connector pipe between the block and the water pump, and I was right. But my mechanic said, and I agreed, that we might as well replace the water pump while it was all apart. Water pump was $87, labor was $240. He charged me the book rate (3.8 hours) even though he said it took them close to 5 hours. About 45 minutes of that was trying to figure out how to tread the drive belt. His computer only showed the long belt set up. He also said it was a PITA to do.
