I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT. It is leaking antifreeze and I have been told that it is the water pump. How pricey is it to take to a mechanic?

pretty pricey I'd say about 300. you may want to get the timing belt changed while they are at it because they have to take out all the same stuff to get to it. - but it's still better than making a car payment or getting a new car!

A mechanic will charge $100 an hour and charge you 1 hour if he is feeling honest.... 2 hours if they need money, then charge you another $100 for the water pump, when you can get it at pep boys for $35. So figure $200..... that should do it.... if they are feeling honest that day.

2-300. Most likely. I agree with one of the other answers, have your timing belt changed while you are at it. It's not that much more work since it's torn apart anyway. good luck

First answer sounds right, you can do it yourself, but without right tools and experience to get to the pump-sometimes just aint worth saving yourself money by doing it, better just to let the pro do it.

100-200.00, maybe a little more if the guy working on your car is a moron, its not that hard to get out or in.
Just a lot to remove to get to it.
Anymore than 200. and I would go somewhere else they would be strokin you if it's more than 200.00
