thisisludicrous Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 When I bought my LS400 last year, I noticed a lurch in the car whenever I quickly got off the gas with the car under load. This happened in my previous car, my former tech correctly diagnosed a bad motor mount, fixed it, and the problem went away. I figure the same was happening to my Lexus, mention it to my current tech, and they're currently replacing my motor mount after quoting me $180 for the job (plus $47 to turn the front rotors, plus oil change, I'm getting too damn lazy). I thought the motor mount job would be somewhere around $80-$100, not $180. Am I just too tight, or does $180 sound like a lot of money to everybody else, too? Thanks in advance for any input.

UCF3 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 It could be $180. It usually takes about an 1.5 hours + parts. It depends on what the hourly rate is! To me it doesn't sound that bad, but you could get a little less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99lsguy Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I agree with UCF3, The part is around $80 or so...then labor of $100 for 1-1.5 hours is also in line.. 99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPI Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Why are we replacing one motor mount? Is this labor? Yes, it's 1.5hr to replace a motor mount. And of course 3hr for both. JPI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisludicrous Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 Thanks gents - just wanted to hear from someone else that it sounded close enough. I guess my old tech had to spend less time, and pay less for the part, on a Volvo 740. The good news is no more lurch, no more wobble when braking - rotors were turned, too. The tech showed me the motor mount, definitely ripped and partially crushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbostar Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Yeah, my quote was $85 for the part and 1 hour labor at $100/hr... yours sounds about right (some motor mounts go for around $125 though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
