I’m looking at the vehicle listed above EXT model. the dealership says it needs head gasket work. Should I replace the head gasket or can I get Bar Leaks head gasket repair?

Hey Chris,

Many of the head gasket quick fix products have claims of miraculous fixes, and some may be provable a time or two -- yet, they are likely not the every day/every time remade. And, there is a potential of further damage if actually not repaired to manufacture specs and it may very well void any warranty if attempted. Using any quick fix product for your vehicle is a risk and could cause more repairs and money expenditure in the long run. They tell ya that -- Use at your own risk!

If you would tell us the engine size and which side is supposed to have the bad head gasket issue, we can give you an estimate of repairs.
