my car have had a cranking problem now for the past year.. It will crank but it want actually turn over untill the 9th or 10th time i try to crank it. In the summer time it is not as bad but in the winter its really bad. I have not had a tune up in the past year in a half and i have not gotten my filters changed in years, i don't know if this is the problem or not but when i took the car to a mechanic he said that he think i had blown a headgasket. My question is what do you all think the problem may be and what is the first step i should take to save a lott of money, what i mean is i don't want to pay lots of money on the moter when all i had to do is get a tuneup and filter change, i just don't know, what do you all think the problem is and what should i do.

get second opinion, go to another shop, or ask a coworker where he gets his work done, good luck
