What engine is it? You should stop driving thats the first step. Second would be a compression test to ensure it's the head gasket and not the intake manifol gasket. Then once you know which one it is replace or bring to a mechanic to replace.

Depends on where you live, any full service garage should be able to give you a quote based on Chiltons time over the phone. Around me anything under $900 is a very good deal. I think about $1100 is the normal. Anyone quoting over $1200 is just hoping you take it somewhere else.
