You can do it yourself, but it is rather involved because of the need to disassemble much of the engine and the confined space to work in. If you bring it to a local mechanic, it should run you about $800, incl. all parts (water pump, drive belts, timing belt, seals).

good advice. Also replacing all the filters, fluids, plugs isn't a bad idea, that way you know where your at with everything instead of guessing.
I think alarms are some of the biggest rip-offs on the automotive market. What do most people do when they hear an alarm? They ignore it. My best advice is installing a hidden kill switch which only cost less than $5.00. I've made posts about kill switches as have others, SEARCH!
