Keep Your Engine Cool Under Pressure.

The water pump is the heart of your vehicle’s cooling system, continuously circulating coolant between the engine and radiator to prevent overheating. When a water pump fails, coolant stops flowing and engine temperatures climb rapidly, putting your engine at risk of severe damage.

At Krietz Service Center in Frederick, MD, our ASE-certified technicians diagnose and replace water pumps for all makes and models, ensuring your cooling system operates reliably. Every water pump service is backed by our exceptional 30 Month/30,000 Mile Warranty on all parts and labor.

What The Service Includes

Water pump replacement at Krietz Auto is performed as a complete cooling system service to ensure long-lasting results:

• Cooling System Diagnosis: Testing to confirm the water pump is the source of the leak, noise, or overheating issue rather than another cooling component.
• Water Pump Replacement: Removal of the failed pump and installation of a new unit with fresh gaskets or O-rings for a leak-free seal.
• Coolant Flush & Refill: Draining the old coolant, flushing the system, and refilling with the manufacturer-specified coolant type and concentration.
• Drive Belt Inspection: Since the water pump is typically driven by the serpentine or timing belt, we inspect the belt for wear and recommend replacement if needed.
• Thermostat Check: Verifying thermostat operation, since a water pump replacement provides a convenient opportunity to replace an aging thermostat.
• System Pressure Test: Confirming there are no remaining leaks in the cooling system after installation.

When Water Pump Replacement is Needed

Water pumps typically fail due to bearing wear, seal degradation, or impeller corrosion. Seek service immediately if you notice:

• Coolant Leak at the Front of the Engine: A visible leak or weeping of coolant from the water pump housing or weep hole.
• Whining or Grinding Noise: A high-pitched whining sound from the front of the engine that increases with RPM, caused by a worn pump bearing.
• Engine Overheating: Rising temperature gauge or overheating warnings, especially in combination with other symptoms on this list.
• Steam from the Hood: Visible steam or vapor indicating coolant is leaking onto hot engine components.
• Coolant Contamination: Coolant that appears rusty or contains particles, which can indicate a corroding impeller inside the pump.
