Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased an 05 Acura TL with about 90k. So far so good, but was told recently by my mechanic that I need a new rear motor mount. He demonstrated the engine moving so it is not as though I do not trust him. However, he quoted me the following:
$175 labor
$170 parts + tax
$356.88 total
It seems that the labor cost might be accurate given that it takes a bit more time to replace. However, the cost of the part seems rather high. I wanted to check with others on here. It seems some recommend replacing all the mounts at once, but I'd prefer not to unless absolutely necessary. I just had to buy tires last month and bought the TL because of what I expected to be low maintenance costs. Lastly, I am not mechanically inclined and am definitely not taking this on as a DIY project although I would appreciate any recommendations of mechanics in the Columbus, OH area that would allow me to purchase my own parts for them to install. It seems not many in this area are accepting of this. I appreciate anyone's help and/or input!
