Head Gasket Repair
The cost of a repair for a head gasket failure can vary considerably. This is due to the conditions of which the head gasket has failed and the circumstances the car has been involved with since. A car that has the problem noticed early and is unused between the time of failure and arrival at our garage will have a greatly reduced clean-up operation than a car that has been driving around with a failed head gasket for some time. As such, the prices below are intended as a guideline for common failures.
We offer a minimum of 1 years warranty on our head gasket repair, provided that all works advised are carried out at the time of the repair. We also require that the vehicle has regular checks performed.
