Default Anyone skilled to replace a headgasket??? 94 civic d16

Well, I'm almost positive I blew my headgasket yesterday. I noticed my temp needle was on H and one of my coolant lines melted off the engine cuz it was boiling hot, now also my radiator fan isn't working and I think some oil mixed with the coolant, its got a white-ish thick color to it.
Really don't have the time to do it myself, if anyone knows a reputable place I can take my civic to, I don't want to get raped on labor or if you have the necessary skills to change the gasket we can do it for some cash.

not to sound like a dick but the SOHC honda motors are cake walk to do head gasket jobs, set it to TDC, take off the belt, remove the head bolts, disconnect the header and cooling lines and of course battery cable and some small other stuff, do it yourself its alot more satisfying.
