What the job involves
Engine mounts (also called motor mounts) hold the engine to the frame and absorb vibration. Most cars have three or four. The mechanic supports the engine with a jack, unbolts the worn mount and installs a new one. The estimate here is for one mount.
Warning signs
- Heavy vibration at idle or in drive
- Clunk or thud when shifting into drive or reverse, or when accelerating
- The engine visibly rocks when revved
- Cracked or oil-soaked rubber on the mount
Can you keep driving?
Usually yes for a while, but a broken mount lets the engine move more, which can damage hoses, wiring and axles.
What changes the price
- Your vehicle. Parts for trucks, European and luxury models usually cost more, and on some engines the mechanic has to remove other parts first, which adds labor hours.
- Where you go. Dealers often charge 25% or more above independent shops. Most shops bill about $120 to $159 an hour (AAA, citing a 2025 PartsTech survey).
- The parts. OEM (factory) parts cost more than aftermarket or remanufactured parts. Ask which ones the estimate uses and what warranty comes with them.
- Extras. Related parts found during the job, fluids, shop supply fees and sales tax are not included in these averages.
How to pay less
- Ask which mount has failed; you may not need all of them replaced.
- Hydraulic and active mounts cost more than plain rubber ones; ask whether an equivalent aftermarket part is available.
How to get a fair estimate
- Ask for a written estimate that lists parts, labor hours and the shop’s hourly rate before any work starts.
- Ask whether the quote uses OEM, aftermarket or remanufactured parts, and what warranty comes with the parts and the labor.
- Get a second quote for any repair over a few hundred dollars. Independent shops often charge less per hour than dealers.
- Ask the shop to show you the old part or the reading that proves it failed, and to call you before doing extra work.
- Check for recalls and warranty coverage first: many powertrain, emissions and hybrid parts carry longer factory warranties.
