Have a cylinder leak down test performed; that'll tell you if it is a head gasket. That said, I might be inclined to swap out the thermostat and see if that fixes our issues.

Do the leak down test I Think if the head gasket was bad you would be losing coolant

Take it to a indy shop to get a cheaper quote.

I recommend a compression test. It's faster than a leak down test. You can also pressurize the coolant system to try to find a leak.
