That’s why she was overheating

WTF?
It's like a $200 part at most for an ACDelco and takes an hour to change using maybe three different sizes of metric sockets. I hope that $600 included an ACDelco pump, all fluids, new thermostat, all new ACDelco hoses, coolant system flush and a reach-around.
Aaaahhhhh, the gold glove reach around. Heard about them but never seen/experienced one. Details details. What does $600 get you?

I replaced every pulley, every belt, the water pump and gaskets (all one delco, it the cheap delco) stuff not long ago and it still wasn’t even 400 lol
$600 is the GM dealer water pump price, reach around not included but available as an add-on for only $6000.

Away!
Yeah, but when you say it was jerky and rough and you want them to fix it, they say it was within spec.

Damn, y’all ruthless up in here lol. Yes, it was for the water pump, hoses, belt, and antifreeze. I’m at the mercy of my mechanic. I know nothing about cars but thanks for letting me know what should be replaced. I refused the reach around as his hands were greasy

Did you do it yourself?
So you thought about the reach around....hmmmmm.
We live off details and pics here. You just throw a component and a number out there and that leaves us in the dark. You'll get used to it. Especially from old people like me.
when the dealer does the water pump it's a mr goodwrench service which means it has a lifetime warranty, that used to mean parts & labor, a few years back they changed it to just parts, so now if it goes out again you only pay labor. the cost is usually about $5xx.00, dealer price is about $250 for the pump and the rest is labor and fluids. so the 2nd time around you only pay labor & fluids which is about $250
when I had my engine replaced I had them install a new water pump which automatically gave me the mrgoodwrench warranty and no additional labor since it was part of the engine replacement so if it ever goes out I only have to pay the labor and fluids which is about what it would cost me to do it myself anyway if not under warranty.
