Intake Gasket and Repair Costs

The intake manifold gasket helps manage the flow of intake air, coolant and oil by sealing the cylinder head to the intake manifold. You can replace the gasket yourself to save a few hundred dollars.

Parts

The cost of the parts required to repair or replace your intake manifold gasket ranges from $25 to $100 in 2010, according to RepairPal, depending on the year and make of your car. This range applies if you have a 2005 Ford Taurus or a 2011 BMW 750Li.

Labor

The cost of labor to replace the gasket is expensive relative to the cost of the parts. As of 2010, expect to pay a mechanic between $325 and $425 to replace the gasket.

Total Cost

The total cost, therefore, to have a mechanic replace your intake manifold gasket ranges from $350 to $525.
