Just buy the part online and install it yourself. No way is the part $160.

I've never had a washer pump fail, but then I use ww antifreeze year round. Are you putting water in the reservoir?

exactly what happened to mine - the pump is spinning but impeller was broken. replaced the pump, about $45 for part, 5 minutes job, pull the old pump out, switch hoses, pull the new one in...

in cold weather use the fluid that is good to minus whatever, to prevent from freezing...
