New water pump and thermostat on 1993 BMW 325is.

Garage charged me $600 tax included... how much should it have cost?

Not bad really. It sounds about right for BMW parts and labor.

My little brother used to have a 1987 325xi and it cost him $400 for plug wires distributor cap and button.
His car was an import this model was not available in the US normally.
 
Sounds a tad steep to me.

New radiator was around $400 for our '94. Don't think we ever did the water pump though. Watch those power steering hoses also. Those puppies cost around $250 for two little hoses plus labor.

Don't get me started on brake jobs...:roll:
 
Nah, it seems about right... figure they have to usually have to drain all the coolant and replace it all... add the uberexpensive BMW parts and about 3-4 hrs of "labor" and you're there at about 600 depending on the labor rate.
 
sounds about right. cheaper than audi dealer, they charge about $700 for just the labor to change the water pump on the 2.8 30v and 3.0 30v V6.
 
Sounds right. Water pump R&R on newer imports is spendy and labor intensive. If your car has a timing belt, you usually want to have that done at the same time because it involves all the same work.
