Is this a rip off for engine mounts?
Okay so I took my car in to the mechanic today and he said that my engine mounts were shot. He estimated that for parts and labor it would cost $550. This a reasonable price or should I look around more? Thanks.

Std time = .7 center; .4 each for left & right. total = 1.5 hours....
Price of the actual parts - from AUDI is:
Manual Trans
. . Right . . .
. . . Without AC . 443199379E $192.12
. . . With AC . 443199379D . $192.12
. . Left . 443199381C . $170.65
. . Center . 811199339B . $4.97
. Auto Trans . .
. . Right
. . . Without AC . 443199379G . $192.12
. . . With AC . 443199379H . $192.12
. . Left . 443199381C . $170.65
. . Center . 811199339B . $4.97
Prices may not be current, but that's what All Data shows. After-market mounts are much cheaper, but he probably called Audi to ask what they cost.
Taylor Automotive sells them for about $45-50 each, depending on whether you have AC.
Ask if you can order the mounts and just have him install them!<ul><li><a href="http://catalog.eautopartscatalog.com/taylor/quote.jsp?partner=taylor&year=1989&product =A7000-35452&application=000288389&clientid=taylo rautomotive&cookieid=17G0ZPK0P&baseurl=htt p://www.taylorautomotive.com/">T

The front crossmember has to come off for the snub mount
thats only 6 easy bolts. just support the engine, and replace other mounts. It's not hard at all. I just did mine. took about an hour.
