Is your quote fair?
A quote between $221 and $378 is inside the band where half of all Dodge Grand Caravan water pump replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (belt-driven pump in the open, coolant topped up); above it is not automatically gouging (timing-belt-driven pump (belt job at the same time), thermostat and hoses renewed) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
- Belt-driven or timing-driven — a pump behind the timing belt is a timing-belt job — the biggest price fork here.
- While it's drained — thermostat and hoses are often renewed.
