Typical Motor Mount Replacement cost
$220–$950, with an average estimate of $480 before vehicle-specific adjustments.
What to expect
Difficulty: moderate. Typical labor time: 1–4 hours.
Mechanic's tip
A quick way to check motor mounts: with the engine running, put the car in Drive and hold the brakes firmly — a bad mount will allow the engine to visibly lurch forward. Replace all mounts at once if more than one is deteriorated; partially collapsed mounts put extra stress on the good ones and fail soon after. Hydraulic mounts (fluid-filled) are common on newer vehicles and cost more than solid rubber mounts.
