Engine Mounts Installation Cost
I ordered a front and side mount or my 99 TL. I asked the mechanic at the Getty station where i got my car inspected how much he'd charge to install it. He's quoting 30 bucks for the front one and 20 for the side. It sounds reasonable to me. What do you think? Is it something that he can easily screw up? Dealer wants over 250 to install it.
Thanks

he has never seen a TL thats for sure- will he guarantee that price?
realistic 30 minutes for side mount
front for good tech who knows the job, about the same- but the book gives almost 2 hours iirc

HOLY CRAP And here im thinking they are stealing me for the Timing Belt Service (Parts+Labor) 800 bucks... You Sir WOW.
> Side mount is Insanely easy to Replace 15 min tops if you DIYs alot...
> Front Start to be a little Complicated (Removing the Mount Itself) Tops 30-45 Min
> Rear is for PROs Only or Hardcore DIYers too Much Shit to do, First time got me 2 hours and alot of Swearing! Now I think I can do it around 1..

No I didn't pay that, sorry for the confusion. That's just the price they told me. I'm going to tackle the front and side mounts myself, but I don't think I'll be in it for the rear.
I asked the dealer for just the rear mount labor, and they said $350. Is that a decent price for just labor? I understand it's pretty involved, so I want to have it done properly.

I'm planning to do the front and side myself, since they don't look as hard as the rear.
The service guy at the dealership said ~3 hours according to the book for the rear mount. I figure 350 is appropriate for 3 hours at a dealership.
$350 for rear mount labor @ dealership sounds reasonable?
