It varies with what part of the country you live in. Call a couple of local garages and get estimates. Goodluck. Joe
The cost is also going to depend on the make/model of your vehicle and other repairs that may be necessary. Cheaper repairs may not include resurfacing or complete diagnostics, so cheaper is not always better. If you are not going to consider doing the job yourself then call around to a few "brand name" mechanics and then a few small ops mechanics to get a good idea of what the repair will cost. Ask them whats included (no $urprises later) and always assume that if they will not take a little time to talk to you about it then they may not take the time to double check their work or do it right the first time. There will certainly be at least one mechanic shop that will have complete answers, offer a willingness to help and explain the process, and fair prices too.
I just had mine replaced and it cost $1300 and took a week to fix.

The head will have to be pulled and the gasket replaced. If the car overheated the head may have warped and will need to be resurfaced or replaced as well.
A blown gasket can be repaired by replacing the gasket...if you are talking about the head gasket, then you have to remove the cylinder head from the engine block and replace the gasket that is inbetween them. Cracked heads generally have to be replaced because they are made of aluminum which cannot be repaired permanently once it is cracked.
There's only one way to repair a blown head gasket and that is to replace the gasket. You must also check to make sure that the head is not cracked or warped If it is the head will either have to be replaced or machined depending on the severity of the damage.
