Sell my car with head gasket failure: FAQs
Should I fix the head gasket before selling?
Usually not on an older car. Get our figure first, then compare it with the repair quote.
How do I know if it is the head gasket?
Overheating, coolant disappearing, white smoke and a milky residue under the oil cap are common signs. A garage can do a combustion gas test to confirm.
Can you collect a car that cannot be driven?
Yes. We send a truck to collect it free from anywhere in the UK.
