Default I am replacing my front motor mount..should I take care of the others while the engine is up?

My mechanic is changing out my front motor mount. He asked if I wanted to take care of the others while he is down there..

Its a 95, and they are all original mounts, from what I am aware of. Should I replace the others too or not?

Thanks!

You could go on the

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" or go with the playing the safe side, save yourself the costs later on and replace all. I'd probably just go ahead and replace all

Well I only plan on having the car til febuary. I am selling it around jan or feb and getting a mazdaspeed3 or Sti or a civic si.

So just doing the one should be fine then?


Also, my mechanic is charging me 80 total for the job, is that reasonable? The dealer wanted 215

if you are nto gonna keep it id not even bother with the moutn, though replacing it might help reslae value since t wont be noticed at sale time.

oh definitely replace it for 80$ and values, for resale definitely replace it, doesn't look good at all if the buyer sees it as "neglected"

I am taking it to my mechanic, he works at a honda dealer and just does work on the side in the shop there. (Tempe Honda) He said he will do the mount for 80 total, unless the mount is more than he expects it to be.

He is also going to check out the rest of my car too. When I had my brakes done, the dealer I took it to said my seals are bad, and there is a chance I am leaking into the part with the oil change, they wanted to charge me 200 just to check if my belt was bad, then another 350 to do the belt, I was like expletive THAT! I told them Id think about it lol.

My mechanic said if I do need my belt and seals done, it would only be 100, so 180 for seals, timing belt, and front motor mount sound like a good deal?
