What drives the price
Parts choices and their impact
- New OEM power steering pump: roughly $180–$350
- Remanufactured pump: roughly $60–$180
- Aftermarket non-OEM pump: roughly $120–$300
- Additional parts (reservoir, belt, hoses): roughly $20–$120
Prices vary by region and model year, and dealer parts typically carry a higher price tag than independent shops.
Labor and other costs
- Estimated labor time: 2–4 hours
- Typical labor rate: $80–$150 per hour
- Diagnostic or shop supplies: may apply in some cases
Dealerships generally charge more for labor and parts than independent garages, but may offer broader warranties.
By scenario: ballpark totals
These totals combine parts and labor for common Dodge Charger configurations. They assume no major additional repairs are needed. If leaks, damaged lines, or a failing rack are present, costs can rise significantly.
- Remanufactured pump with standard labor: about $260–$600
- New OEM pump with standard labor: about $400–$900
- Dealer service with OEM parts and longer warranty: about $600–$1,100
Always obtain a written estimate that breaks down parts vs. labor and ask about any potential additional charges. Prices can vary widely by model year (for example, 3.6L V6 vs. newer V8 configurations) and by region.
