Water Pump Replacement
Stop the leak before it becomes an overheat.
A weeping water pump seal, a whine from the front of the engine, or coolant on the belt area are all early warnings. Ignored, a failed pump means overheating — and in the Inland Empire that means a warped head.
We replace the pump with a quality unit, refresh the thermostat and coolant, and pressure test the system before you leave.

The manufacturer-specified type for your vehicle.
