Default Cost to have Head gasket done

Does anyone know roughly how much it should cost to have a head gasket done on a 99 uk turbo?

If you have the heads skimmed then 800-1k, if you dont have the heads skimmed and they are at fault then probably 1.5k as you will need to do it all again

Yes all prices are well below our usual selling price while we establish a customer base on the scoobynet forum.

These prices will not always be available, as you can see the pricing we are giving at the moment is on average 25% cheaper then most other tuning companies.

Please feel free to come in to our purpose built showroom.

To put in context, a Subaru dealer quoted me £1400 ex VAT to change HGs without skim work. Its an 11 hour job and the gaskets will be IRO £130 (£300 for OEM ones!)

About £600 + parts is a reasonable price for the job.
