Why is it that head gasket problems cause such concern for vehicle owners? Unfortunately, the head gasket is located in the deepest part of the engine, which means when problems strike, the engine will have to be completely broken down to access it. Since the head gasket seals the cylinder head and engine block together, when it breaks down the seal can rupture, causing oil, coolant and fuel to mix. This is a dangerous situation, leading to overheating and poor performance as well as accelerating the rate at which other powertrain components degrade. In order to repair your head gasket, we'll carefully break down your engine, taking the time to inspect all of the other engine components such as belts, hoses and pumps, and replacing anything that needs it. Our technicians will keep you informed every step of the way and recommend the best course of action, always keeping your budget in mind. Since we use only genuine OEM parts, you have the confidence of knowing your engine will be as good as new when we've finished.
