I'm stuck in tacoma washington and my water pump is going. Is there any locals who know of good auto shops? Please give me location if you do. Asap! Thanks

 

I have a great shop in mind for you, my family has been going to them for the last 20 years. It is located 5445 Steilacoom Blvd S.W. Lakewood Wa, which is just outside of Tacoma. The name if the shop is Ray's auto center. I was qouted 811.00 to have my airconditioning fixed. They found out it was a simple recharge and evacuation. I picked up the car (2000 Z-28) with a 127.60 repair bill. They are honest, and very competent. Their number is 253-582-3900. Hope this helps.

 

@ RSSS, thanks for the help. I gave the shop a call, but they were closed due to the long weekend. Surprise. My fiancee's uncle was able to call around and found the Parkfield Chev dealer was still open. Got the car there, only to be told they couldn't do the water pump before it closed, and I would have to wait until tuesday. Did some messing around and discovered that one of the small coolant elbows under the intake was gone. Found that after a $150 diagnostic fee. For another $120 they replaced it and got me on my way. Thanks for the help though.

Oh, and Seattle roads on the 4th of July weekend with no GPS equal a nightmare. What a road trip!
