Engine mount replacement fair price?
Hi Folks,
My aunt took her 2003 WRX Sedan (4AT) to Auto Air Clinic (2066 Dillingham Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96819) and Tommy Ko quoted her $2,000 to replace the engine mount.
Is this a fair price? How much should she expect to pay? Is there a better place around Kalihi she should take her car?
Mahalo,
Loren

Wtf - you are talking about the two engine mounts right? Left and Right?
The parts are less than 200$ and it's about 45 minutes on a lift, somebody is getting ripped. I'd say, at most - 350$

Learned that the quote might've also included replacing both front LCAs and some other items.
Still would be good to know a good Scooby shop she can take her car to.
devilzdriver, thanks for the PM!

Replacing the LCA's is part of a recall that subaru initiated and should probably be done ( except if you take it to servco they might do it for free )
TBH, if you have a jack, and a socket set, you can change them yourself.

If they're replacing LCA's in areas where they salt the roads then Hawaii will be no problem. When I finally pulled apart my suspension on my wagon which I brought from Utah, the rust was 100x worse than on this 93 L I'm currently working on, and the L has an extra 10 years of Hawaii. Salted roads are the worst for any vehicle I would imagine.
