So ive had my coolant flushed and they put the wrong one in, i called them up and the boss was so pissed that they messed up on it. A MB mechanic told me that the green coolant eats away at headgaskets. So today im driving and my coolant light comes on. I get angry because i know what the problem is. I need to get my head gasket changed but dont know what a good price is. Anyone ever have theres changed? how much did you pay?

you should not go over US 300 incl labor at an indie workshop. The gasket itself is pretty cheap, the labor costs are the main chunk of your expenses.

why should you pay for it? let the person pay for everything for putting the wrong one!!
They screwed up...not just a little mess up. But a major error. This is their problem, they need to fix it..Just make sure you get it in writing, so if it's necessary you can do the whole small claims court thing if they refuse. Good luck with that!!
put it in the dealership..have a quote and what things have to be done to correct it......show the estimate to the person who Fu_k up!! and let them pay for it. i wouldn't let this shop fix it ....

When you say "green coolant", are you referring to Prestone? I've been using Prestone for decades and have never had a problem.

trickm911- I bought it from a guy who took it to a shop to have it fixed. he left the car at my dads friends place, thats where i found her.
slk230red- I was told that you shouldnt put the green coolant ( of any brand) into MB's they told me that it eats awway at the headgaskets, thats why its recommended to use MB coolant, which is clearish

Milos87.....then you should have the guy and the shop pay for it..... they made the boo-boo....... why would you pay for the damage when you did not do the mistake. unless you told them to put that coolant
I agree with the rest...
