Just got a quote today is it fair?

[dario]

I just got a quote today from mechanic on replacing dog-bone motor mount (the one under the oil filter) and the transsmission mount and he quoted me $190 dollars for labor (my parts) is that a fair quote and what did you guys paid if you have done it before thank you.

kinda high in my opinion....buy a floor jack and do it yourself, but if you NEED to have someone else do it....about 150 at the most

Pull the mount out and replace it.

It's not woth $100 IMHO. Ya don't need a jack, the dogbone isn't load bearing.

The dogbone is by the passenger side strut tower and top timing belt cover. (this one usually goes first).

The mount by the oil filter is the front mount. (this one will go second, but only after lots of driving).

The transmission mount rarely goes (that I'm aware of).

The dogbone is an easy DIY, about 10-15 minutes to collect the tools and do it.

The front mount is an easy DIY and needs the motor to be supported, block of wood and jack on the oil pan. The front mount maybe 20-30 minutes.

i would do it myself if i were you, all you need is to:
1 get a small piece of 2X4
2 pull out your jack
3 put 2x4 on top of your jack under your oil pan
4 lift jack up slightly until it put a small amount of pressure on your oil pan
5 remove bolts holding dog bone
6 pull dog bone out

now do everything in reverse with the new dog bone and your set. easy procedure, not worth 190 bux

UPDATE:


I replaced the dog-bone myself easy job 10 minutes. Checked the transsmission mount and it looks new no need for replacement. The only this I replaced at the shop was the front motor moun and the guy charged me $50 to put it in so I am all done with that and tha car drives differen a little more tighter I would say. Thank you all guys for help and input.
