How much should i expect to pay for a water pump and thermostat to be replaced on a 98 chevy blazer?

I was told i need a new water pump and thermostat for my blazer i don't know much about cars so i need advice on what to expect so i don't get ripped offHow much should i expect to pay for a water pump and thermostat to be replaced on a 98 chevy blazer?The parts might cost less than $300 from the auto parts store. However, if you get it through your mechanic or auto repair shop, they may pad the price. Then you have to figure the Chilton's price on installation.



Chilton is the book most mechanics use to give the standard amount of time that it takes to repair/replace anything on your vehicle. They charge according to the time it takes. I don't know what your mechanic charges by the hour.



Good luck! I hope you can still afford Christmas! It wouldn't hurt to call the auto shop and ask how much they estimate. If you've already left the vehicle there, tell them you want a call with the estimate before they repair the vehicle. If they call with a higher price than you expected to pay, tell them you've got to check something. Then call around to see what prices are like with some of the other auto repair places in your area.How much should i expect to pay for a water pump and thermostat to be replaced on a 98 chevy blazer?call napa instead of using yahoo answersHow much should i expect to pay for a water pump and thermostat to be replaced on a 98 chevy blazer?$200 TO $300How much should i expect to pay for a water pump and thermostat to be replaced on a 98 chevy blazer?well my brother said a couple hundred hope it helps!How much should i expect to pay for a water pump and thermostat to be replaced on a 98 chevy blazer?honestly, about 800 dollars or so.
