Top Gasket
What should have been included in the head gasket quote?
I was offered a quote of $1200 to replace my head gaskets. They called and said they had trouble getting the cam bolts off, causing extra hours of labor. Then they told me that it was extra to send the heads to the head shop for inspection ($110 x 2). Then they charged me on top for the bolts to be replaced. These combined, the total is now $1900. I would have thought that those charges should have been included in the estimate ($1200). They had taken $600 off the price (would be 1800) because they put in a new thermostat, water pump, and oil pan , for which I already paid $700 (and the car was still overheating). It seems to me they're trying to make up the cost they reduced. Should the bolts (cam and/or head), head shop inspection and extra time have been included in the quote or extra?
The head bolts and sending the heads out to be checked for cracks should have Been included in the estimate. They had no way of knowing about the cam bolts that sort of stuff just happens.
