I would be questioning the cost of this repair, water on the timing belt is not a problem, if the belt is close to replacement it is worth doing the belt with the water pump, I would like to see the break down of costs, as it takes around 3 hrs and a belt kit costs around $95 and a pump $45 add coolant $30 the 900 does not add up.

The water pump giving way could also mean a bad head gasket and if that is confirmed, the cost could go much higher.

It is best to be prepared.
