Head Gasket Repair
Serving the Centennial State Since 1989
The head gasket has two main functions.
The first one is to seal the engine’s combustion chamber, so your vehicle can build the compression needed to maintain the engine power. It’s also responsible for keeping the oil and coolant from leaking, which helps prevent the engine from catching fire or overheating.
When your vehicle’s head gasket malfunctions or gets damaged, your engine will have to work harder than usual. Your vehicle will also lose coolant, which can cause the engine cooling system to under perform. This often results in serious overheating situations.
If you need head gasket repair, maintenance, and replacement, Saul’s Autotek is the one to call. We have ASE-certified mechanics who service vehicles from a wide range of brands, both domestic and foreign. With over 31 years in the industry, we assure you that we can help you keep your head gasket working properly.
Signs You Have a Failed Head Gasket
1. External Leaks
If your head gasket has blown outside the engine and between the water and oil passage, you’ll encounter an oil or coolant leak. This might be a simple issue, but it can lead to dire consequences when left unaddressed.
When the coolant level drops too far, it’ll lead to severe engine problems. Leaking oil, on the other hand, can cause acrid smoke or fire when it reaches the hot exhaust. So, don’t ignore external leaks and call for professional services.
2. Overheating
3. White or Blue Smoke
4. Power Loss

Signs Your Exhaust Needs Servicing
1. Strange Noise
2. Foul Odors
Most of the time, foul odors signal trouble. For instance, a failing catalytic converter produces a smell similar to that of rotten eggs. If you notice a burning smell, you might be dealing with malfunctioning head gaskets.
You and your passengers should never smell fuel inside your vehicle. If you do, there’s a problem with your exhaust system’s tubes or pipes. These components might be leaking gas inside your vehicle. This is dangerous to your health.
3. Power and Acceleration Issues
4. Increased Gas Consumption
