I really do sympathise with you on this one. So many garages act like gangsters when they know they have you on the back foot, ie you need the car and dont know much about the detail of what makes a car work.
I have muddled through with our cars for over 30- years with minimal contact with garages, especially ones like this, and when I am forced into a garage I always go politely armed with what I see the score is.
This sum of money to do a head gasket and even head skim is outrageous. People buy Fords because everyone knows about them and they are relatively cheap to fix.
Unless it is something else like a hole or crack in a piston or cylinder block, they are probably on a scam in my opinion.
