I have a 2001 honda accord V-6. The dealer claims there is a cracked front and side motor mount. I have noticed no vibrations(or any problem), and I am giving this car to my son. The dealer wants $600 to replace them. Is this a significant safety issue? I could only find one motor mount(the front one) and I could not see any cracking. Any hints where the other mounts are located? How many mounts does this car have? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah, $600 sounds way too high. I got motor mounts replaced on another car that I had (not Honda) but it was around $300 plus other things I believe I got done. I once replaced (isolation mount) (or dog bone mount) on a car as well and that was around $50. But, don't do that job for $600. If you have no problems you are fine!

 

Thanks for the advice. I figured $600 was way out of line. The accord runs great(no noise or vibrations). Is this a high priority to fix? I have already changed all fluids(a/t,brake, p.s.), so I would be willing to fix this, but I hate to fix something that doesn't appear broken(or any obvious problems). Thanks again for any help/advice.
