Replace Water Pump
While referred to as a “water pump,” this component actually circulates coolant fluid (usually mixed with antifreeze) through your engine and radiator. Rather than a pool of water under your car, if this pump is defective, you may see a puddle of synthetic fluid beneath the engine compartment.

Frequently Asked Questions
While referred to as a “water pump,” this component actually circulates coolant fluid (usually mixed with antifreeze) through your engine and radiator. Rather than a pool of water under your car, if this pump is defective, you may see a puddle of synthetic fluid beneath the engine compartment.
What are some signs of a bad water pump?
Smoke, leakage, or overheating of your engine can all indicate your car is overdue to have its water pump replaced.
How often should you replace the water pump on your car?
This depends on your driving habits and environment, but it’s possible for your water pump to wear out in as little as 60,000 miles (and before you hit the 100,000 mile mark.)
Why is it called a water pump if there’s no water?
The term “water pump” is a historical reference, because originally engines were primarily cooled by water. Synthetic coolants became popular in the early 1900’s, but the formulations have been innovated over the years to prevent corrosion, and antifreeze is also a common additive. However, not all coolants or antifreeze types are compatible with your specific make, and it’s important to select the right manufacturer-recommended type coolant for your vehicle. Water is only an emergency resort for vehicles that have already overheated, and if there’s no other option available.
“Very convenient and great service. Thoroughly check the car and make good recommendations. They are honest when asked what really needs repair now and what can be deferred until next time. Great to have car picked up and dropped off same day.”
