Expensive head gasket
Hightower:
Head gasket on my TD5 two years ago at a main stealers was £550.
A grand seems a bit steep to me. As suggested, get somebody independent in to check these guys out, or just take the car somewhere else for a second opinion.

What a joke! Like others said, report them. I could have the car transported up to merseyside, fixed and returned for less. Surely there has to be something wrong there? :(
Its scum like this that give all garages a bad name and create the atmosphere where women wont take their cars for fear of being robbed. Makes my blood boil.
As far as I am aware they cant legaly hold the car? I am sure that someone will correct me if I am wrong but I would think that she should demand the car back. Tell them she has no intention of paying and they are welcome to take her to small claims court to recover costs (which they probably wont). If they intend on permanently depriving the rightful owner then that is theft and I would call the police. Get it back, and get it somewhere else.
Just my 2p worth...

I'd have told the garage they are ripping me off and if i couldnt get the car back lawfully,i'd tell them to keep it,as it's obvious the repair bill is more expensive than the car is actually worth.
