Should the garage repair both head gaskets in a 98 transport van when the damaged one is being replaced since labor costs are extreme and the job is in progress?

head gaskets are the worst, and i dont know why a 98 would need them replaced, but since its in progress it would be better to get them both replaced just so down the road you wont have to replace the other 1, and there both new. Thanks for your reply. The van had the rear gasket replaced in February 2005 under an extended warranty repair. This past week the engine check light went on and the van had white smoke everywhere. When we took it back to the dealership they diagnosed that the other head gasket went and provided an estimate of $2,400. I spoke with a friend of mine who is a mechanic and he stated that 9 out of 10 times as a matter of course they change both gaskets since the majority of cost is the labour involved. He also said that the "other" gasket is generally compromised when everything is taken apart. At the very minimum I advised the dealer that they should call the customer and let them make the decision as to whether both gaskets should be replaced. I would of been happy to absorb the extra cost of the gasket replacement and would probably not of been in the situation I am now. Is this something I should pursue with the dealer and the company? All thoughts and comments are welcome. Thank you.
