If your temperature gauge is climbing or you see coolant leaking, stop driving and have it checked right away."},{"q":"Can you replace a water pump at my home?","a":"Yes. We bring the pump, coolant, and tools to your driveway or office and complete the job on-site. Timeframe depends on your engine layout, but most are same-day."},{"q":"Should I replace anything else at the same time?","a":"On many engines the water pump is driven by the timing belt, so it's smart to replace the timing belt (and sometimes the thermostat) at the same time to save on labor later. We'll tell you if that applies to your vehicle."},{"q":"Why does my coolant keep getting low?","a":"A slow water-pump leak, a weeping seal, or a bad hose can drop coolant without an obvious puddle. Our pressure test pinpoints where it's escaping so we fix the real source."},{"q":"Is the repair covered by a warranty?","a":"Yes \u2014 water pump replacements, like all our repairs, carry our 12-month \/ 12,000-mile warranty on parts and labor."}],"footnotes":""},"novo_service_kind":[2],"novo_service_category":[7],"class_list":["post-53","novo_service","type-novo_service","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services\/53","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/novo_service"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services\/53\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":120,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services\/53\/revisions\/120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"novo_service_kind","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo_service_kind?post=53"},{"taxonomy":"novo_service_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo_service_category?post=53"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
