I would love some advice/direction on my 2009 Honda Civic Coupe, if at all possible.


I was just informed by my Honda dealership that my right side motor mount is ripped/cracked.


I have two estimates so far (parts and labor) - $495 from the dealership and $425 from a local mechanic; I live outside Philly, PA.


I was told by my local mechanic that the genuine Honda part costs $325, which feels steep.


Does this all sound about right to you?


Any input would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

What trim model is your car? dx ex si?

 

Wrong forum. You should have posted here: Honda Civic (2006 - Current) - Honda-Tech


toyomatt84 will end up moving it, though.

 

Thank you everyone. I have a 2 Door EX-L (NAVIGATION). Sorry about posting on the wrong forum - this is my first time on here.

I had gone to Honda Parts earlier but I'm not a car person - I have no idea what I'm looking at: 2009 Honda Civic Engine Mounts - HondaPartsNow.com.

I was hoping to find out whether the estimates I got to replace the right side motor mount sound about right - it was $325 for the part and I have a range of $425 (local mechanic) to $495 (Honda dealership) with labor.

 

If it is the driver side mount, it's 197$, that's just for the #6 part number here:

if it needs the accompanying torque mount #9 and any other parts that might be associated in that little cluster of parts in the picture, it'll add up.

Dealer overhead markup, plus labor, plus your region (prices vary by region due to overhead/labor rates etc) I could see $500 being about right in replacing a mount, if you aren't doing it yourself.

Ask them all of what they are replacing, find out how much they're charging for labor, and figure out if it's worth the price for you to pay and get OEM quality (I would trust OEM or whatever aftermarket mount the private mechanic might buy) part or go with the private mechanic and save a few bucks. Maybe he's buying the same OEM dealership parts and replacing those and you can save money on the labor.
