1998 Ford Mustang

V6 3.8 L

I already bought the water pump for $60

I just need to know about how much a mechanic would charge for replacing it?

Thanks!

If you have a timing chain, it should only take about an hour....I'm not positive, but I recall this being ez. $100. Bucks at private shop.

Not sure, call a few local shops, but water pumps are typically changed when you change the timing belt, is your 16 year old car due for a timing belt soon. Ask around who your local friends and family go, if anyone can recommend a "good" shop or mechanic.

I would charge my regular hourly rate plus what my markup would be on the water pump. Do you also take a stake to a restaurant and ask how much to cook it for you?

I wouldn't be surprised if they charged you $150-$200. They take advantage...what is it, like 4 bolts?
