That depends on the age of the car..the number of miles and how much the car is worth versus how much it costs to have the work done...do if you have a twelve year old car with 125000 miles and it's only worth 1500 dollars....and a head gasket job costs $400...then is that car worth about 2000 dollars to you??? And if the head gaskets are blown, chances are, that there are several other issues with that car..blown head gaskets are usually due to poor maintenance or abuse. Is the risk worth the expense if the transmission is probably going to go out soon...or if the car was driven for a while with the blown gasket...then your probably also going to have the engine seize up soon because the engine oil was contaminated with engine coolant and the bearings are now in really bad condition...always be aware that something as severe as a blown head gasket can lead to other serious repairs.

The best quick fix is to replace it as there is no quick fix. There are products that can be poured into the engine that claim to fix bad head gaskets. That's more of a "let's see if we can make this even more expensive" fix.

Blown head gaskets cannot be "fixed", they have to be replaced. If you are mechanically inclined and want to try and do it yourself, get a Hayne's or Chilton's repair manual for your vehicle to find everything on how to do it.

Just get rid of the grand am. It's not worth the fix because head gaskets blow in just about every single one of them. It's not worth the repair because something else will go wrong; like, for instance, the cam shaft will go out then you are screwed.
