After wasting money with getting a thermostat & getting my car flused, I was told that my car is overheating because of a head gasket, but wanted to get someone elses opionion. The car runs fine untill it reaches a hill, once it starts going up a hill the temperature will shoot up & cause the car to over heat. Nothing is getting mixed together & I do not have anything leaking however, the coolant is evaporating(at least from what I can tell) because I have to keep refilling the coolant. Does this sound like a head gasket issue & if so generally how much does it cost to get fixed?

Hi there,
when they flushed the engine did they remove the radiator and clean and flow test it, as this sounds like a classic blocked radiator problem.
