Among its supporters are professional technicians who have used Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Repair, the first product specifically designed to chemically repair blown head gaskets, when a mechanical fix just wasn’t practical.

“Oftentimes in our business, it is a difficult task to try to balance the needs of the customer and the price of a repair. On the one hand, the customer needs to have something fixed on their vehicle in order to use it. On the other, repairs on today’s vehicles can be so costly that the customer can be hard-pressed to come up with the money for the repair,” says John Armstead, owner of Armstead Automotive Repair and Service, Inc. of Holly, MI.

Armstead gives the example of a customer who had spent more than $1,500 to have a head gasket repaired on a five-year-old Ford Explorer. When the head gasket started leaking again, the owner was faced with getting rid of the vehicle at a loss, since he owed more on it than it was worth, or spending another $1,500 to fix the head gasket again. Neither option was appealing — to the customer or Armstead.

“We were faced with losing a customer and the money from fixing that vehicle,” Armstead continues. “We determined to find an alternative solution to keep the customer and the repair job. Although we were always skeptical of ‘mechanic-in-a-bottle’ type of quick fixes, we decided to give Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Repair a try. We were shocked by the results. It actually stopped the head gasket from leaking.

“Thanks to Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Repair, we were able to help a customer who would have otherwise not been able to afford the repair. In addition, we were still able to make a sale. We would highly recommend this product to any garage in need of an inexpensive alternative that works.”

Charles Lapham is a mechanic in Santa Clarita, CA. He also buys cars to fix up as a hobby. He recently bought a 1990 Honda Accord that wasn’t running. Once he got it going again, he discovered that the car had a bad head gasket.

“It was blowing out so much white smoke through the tailpipe that the people behind me couldn’t see the road,” he recalls. “My Honda wasn’t worth enough for me to spend the money and time to pull the head off and replace it, but the car was worthless with the cracked head. So I spent 10 bucks and tried Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Repair. Right away, I could see less and less smoke until it was gone. I’ve never been so impressed with a product. It actually does what it promises.”

While he’d recommend investing in a proper mechanical repair on a nice vehicle, Lapham says Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Repair is a perfect choice for an old high-mileage car like his Honda.

“It’s a good alternative to try before giving the car to a junkyard,” he says. “The product lets you get a little more life out of the car.”

Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Repair is a premium cooling system stop leak that repairs blown head gaskets, stops engine block leaks, seals cracked heads, eliminates porosity seepage and fixes other severe coolant leaks. It uses a patent-pending formula containing sodium silicate (liquid glass) aramid and refractory fibers — the same super-strong, heat-resistant materials used in bulletproof vests and fireproof clothing —  to permanently seal coolant leaks. As the liquid penetrates a crack or separation in the head gasket area, the fibers lock together to form a hard, ceramic-like seal, permanently eliminating the leak. Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Repair is effective on cast iron or aluminum blocks and heads.

Because severe coolant leaks, blown head gaskets and engine block leaks usually occur in older vehicles, repairing them often costs more than the vehicle is worth. Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Repair gives vehicle owners a cost-effective alternative.
