Engine HOT light came on and I immediately stopped and then car wouldnt start.
l am told I have 2 bad heads. How much will it be roughly to repair. (Used parts are great) The engine is still good.

What do you have for engine?
Is it DOHC?
If not
would expect to pay about $700 for labor plus parts and materials

I believe it is a dohc.

Would it still cost that much if I had them put on used heads. (If that can be done) I am new at this car repair thing and am afraid I will be taken advantage of.
Thank you for your input.
