Depends on your location and labor rates. I would suspect ~400-600 for a private mechanic, more at a dealer.
Having a head gasket replaced on a 2000 Amigo can be replaced but it can be hard depending on if the mechanic has the right instructions. Also, depending on the condition of the head gasket can depend on how hard it is replace the gasket.
sounds like you use a bad mechanic a good mechanic would replace a cracked exhaust manifold to start with if you can smell gas,there is obvioulsy a leak in the fuel system. this needs to be found as it is a fire hazard
I was having a problem with my intake manifold gasket on my 2003 Pontiac grand am and i took it to a shop it was 600 dollars parts and labor you can get it much cheaper i just chose a mechanic i could trust. now it may not be intake manifold gasket the best way to tell is to lift your oil cap look at the backside of it and if there is a blueish tint liquid on the cap then your getting condensation which means bad intake gasket. But it can also be your thermostat housing messing up which would be much cheaper.
This depends on if you are taking the car to a mechanic or doing the work yourself. If you are having a mechanic do this, have them replace the timing belt and timing belt tensioner as well. Expect to pay in the 400 dollar range. If you are doing this yourself, you can save up to half off the mechanic's bill.
I just got $250 for my 1995 Dodge Spirit in October 2011. I got the car off a friend when the orginal headgasket went bad at 120,000 miles. I had my mechanic replace the head gasket with a second one. The head gasket I had installed (second head gasket for vehicle) went bad 11,000 miles later. The Dodge Spirit is notorious for having head gasket problems. It wasn't worth putting a third head gasket on it. When a head gasket goes bad on these vehicles you can expect problems with the following: 02 sensor, thermostat, timing belt, and a possible cracked/warped head.
Probably not. This repair can be done with out having to replace the engine, unless the leaking head gasket has caused other engine damage.
Dealership or any other competent mechanic.Dealership or any other competent mechanic.
Replace it , meaning the cracked head or the gasket . Neither can be repaired . The head can be repaired if its only warped from overheating by having it surfaced . It is best on the 8 valve or the 16 valve engines to replace with new parts.
You can replace a timing chain on a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire by visiting a local mechanic and having him take care of it for you. This is a tricky part to change yourself.
Mostly the labor- the gaskets are only around 35.00. having it done professionally could be 500.00 or thereabouts in some cases.
If you're doing the job yourself, and have all the necessary tools, the cost will be only that of the gasket and maybe some PermaSeal. You can check Autozone's website for the gasket price.If you're having it done at a shop, you're probably looking at several hundred dollars.FriPilot
I'm having my 1999 Suburbans done for around $600 this includes an oil change and tune up.
