What do head gasket repair services include?
Our repair services include a thorough assessment, full repair work, and final inspection and testing. Here's what to expect when you hire a head gasket repair expert through Airtasker:
Â
Head Gasket Assessment
As soon as your Tasker arrives, they'll ask you several questions about the issues you're having with your car. They will conduct a thorough assessment to determine whether your head gasket can still be fixed or if it needs replacing.
Head Gasket Repair
Once your Tasker identifies the problem, they will set up the necessary tools and proceed with the repairs. If it's only a minor issue or leak, they will repair it using gasket sealants which are usually in the form of a paste, glue, or spray. But first, they must remove the thermostat and flush the cooling system with water before pouring the sealer inside. They will then run your vehicle for 50 minutes with the cap on before placing a new thermostat.
Once the engine is cooled, your Tasker will drench the cooling system with antifreeze, then fix and tighten the head bolts inside the engine. If using sealers and tightening the bolts doesn't fix the problem, then a replacement may be the best solution.
Head Gasket Final Inspection and Testing
Our Tasker will do a final inspection and perform several engine tests to make sure everything is functioning correctly. Once you're pleased with the results, they will pack up their tools and clean the area to ensure that no mess is left behind.

Head gasket repair on a Chrysler PT Cruiser. This 156000klms car was running nicely until the radiator blew. I replaced the radiator and thermostat but the weakened gasket only lasted 200klms before blowing. Engine spins but has no compression. As it is a nice car I would like to save it. I will supply the parts needed, but the job must be done professionally.

My car is a Hyundai Getz 2006 turned off while driving - can see engine light on and radiator light is red. The car gives smoky smell when I checked the coolant. I suspect the head gasket is blown as engine oil has been mixed with coolant. The engine oil looks milky, and coolant is draining faster. Give me a quote to fix this please.

I am having some trouble with my Toyota Camry Atara (2012). On two occasions, the engine has just completely shut off - once when I was at a standstill and once when slowing down to stop. I had RACQ check it & they advised that the charging system, battery, alternator and cooling system are all fine. The car also feels like it’s ‘struggling’ to accelerate despite having half a tank of fuel. I have stopped driving it as it doesn’t feel safe to drive. It has just come due for a service.
