Quick update for everyone to contributed to this post. Everyone has been helpful and I appreciate taking the time to reply to my post. I took the advice of two redditors and attempted to drive to the mechanic. All went well and right when I got to my parents house to drop off my dog, the battery was completely juiced out. Luckily the mechanic is about a while away. I phoned them, explained my situation in distate, and one of their mechanics can by my car with a booster to to keep on the battery nodes and I drove it there. From there, I questioned what happend. The mechanic who was out of the shop that day had the answers so I was forced to leave my car their overnight. At this point whether the pump needed to be serviced or not, im pretty pissed the original issue wasn’t addressed. I’m afraid my brand new battery is fried too. I won’t be coming back to this mechanic ever again. As far the water pump, im almost positive it needed to be serviced, but it makes me question how they can so a massive water pump job but can’t fix the simple charge system issue that was indicated on the work order.
The water pump and alternator were replaced adding up to $2895.
