Water pump replacement in Calgary
Walk-ins welcomeThe water pump circulates coolant through your engine, and when it fails you'll see coolant leaks, overheating or a whining noise from the front of the engine. We replace water pumps and, where it makes sense, do it together with a timing belt to save you labour. Walk-ins welcome at JCo Auto; calling ahead is advised.

Frequently asked questions
Should I replace the water pump with the timing belt?+
Often, yes. The labour to reach a timing belt is the biggest part of the cost, so replacing the water pump while we're already in there can save you paying that labour twice. We'll tell you if it makes sense for your car.
Why is my car overheating?+
Overheating has several causes — low coolant, a leak, a stuck thermostat or a failing water pump. We inspect to find the real cause before recommending a repair.
