If your vehicle is overheating, losing coolant, blowing white smoke, or running rough, you may have a blown head gasket. Crown Auto Sales and Service provides professional head gasket diagnostics and repair for domestic, import, diesel, and light-duty vehicles.
A failed head gasket can allow coolant, oil, and combustion gases to mix, causing serious engine damage if ignored. Our technicians diagnose the issue properly before recommending repair options.
Signs You May Need Head Gasket Repair
Engine Overheating
Repeated overheating is one of the most common signs of head gasket failure.
White Exhaust Smoke
Thick white smoke may mean coolant is entering the combustion chamber.
Coolant Loss
Coolant disappearing with no visible leak may indicate an internal engine leak.
Milky Oil
Coolant mixing with oil can create a milky color under the oil cap or dipstick.
Rough Running Engine
Loss of compression can cause misfires, rough idle, or poor acceleration.
Bubbles In Coolant
Combustion gases entering the cooling system can cause bubbling in the reservoir.
