Why sell your car with a blown head gasket to us
No need to repair first
Spending on a gasket, skimming the head or a pressure test rarely pays back. We price the car with the fault.
Symptoms are enough
Overheating, white exhaust smoke, bubbling in the expansion tank or a milky oil cap: describe what you see, no diagnosis needed.
Collected, not driven
We bring a recovery truck so the engine is not run hot again on the way out of your drive.

Sell my car with a blown head gasket: FAQs
Does it matter if the garage has only suspected the head gasket?
No. Tell us what the garage said and what you have noticed. A suspected fault and a confirmed one are both fine to sell.
Should I keep topping up the coolant until you collect?
It is safer not to drive it at all. If it has to be moved a few yards, let it cool and check the level first, but the truck can load it where it stands.
What helps the price on a car with a gasket fault?
Mileage, service history, the condition of the body and interior, and whether the engine still turns over. A clean, straight car is still worth more even with a bad engine.
How do I get paid?
By bank transfer or cash on the day we collect, before the car is loaded.
