if having both head gaskets replaced at local dealer will be around $800. if having only one side replaced about $600. these are estimates based on average dealer pricing of $70 an hour. local small repair shops should charge less

coolant constantly needing refilled, possibly milky looking engine oil on dipstick, slight overheating of engine are all signs of faulty head gasket.
