My 1999 ford taurus WATER pump and serpentine belt need to be replaced because I can't stir the stiring wheel .... Would you know approximately how much this could cost so I dont get ripped off ??? I know nothing about cars... and this mechanic is saying between 300$ to 400$ and that is wayyy too expensive . It was kinda obvious to him that I know nothing about carsTHANKS A LOT!!!
Don't you really mean timing belt, water pump, and serpentine belt? Last time I paid someone to do that it was $415, and they reused my serpentine belt so add ~$20 extra for that. That was on an Escort, but I assume any other front wheel drive car would cost about the same.

Sounds about right to me, the parts would run right around $100 total or maybe a little more and of course the shop has to make their money. Water pump removal generally requires at least partially draining the cooling system (pain in the ***) in addition to trying to get the pump out of a FWD vehicle. Not the best price possible but definitely fair.
