Re: [Help] Mechanic says I have a blown head gasket?
Sadly it sounds like their lack of meeting the vehicles basic maintenance needs (coolant flush and fill plus cooling system diagnostic test under $60.00) has cost them a whole lot more. Perhaps their next vehicle will receive its needed attention before instead of after the fact if they learn from this very expensive mistake. 
I've seen too many vehicles killed like this over the Years and it is from the I'll drive just a bit further cause I'm late or I don't want to walk let's keep going excuses being just enough to fry the engine good.  That and the it doesn't need looking at now as it cooled down and I topped off/refilled the overflow tank so it can't overheat again attitude.
