1998 Elantra engine mounts
Took my Elantra to a local independent AAA-approved shop for an oil change
and he told me everything was ok except I need the engine mounts replaced. Car has 75,000 mi. He quoted me $833. This shop is in Phoenix, AZ. He claims most front-wheel drives need new mounts after 3 years or so. True? Does the price seem reasonable? |

Sounds like the guy who wanted to sell my son a $1500 brake job. As Click and Clack would say "He has big boat payments". |
Re: 1998 Elantra engine mounts
Nope, not true. Most front-drive cars *do not* need new motor mounts after
three years or so. Of course, on a ten year old car, the rubber could be cracked or broken. If there's no specific problem with a mount, don't replace it. There's no sense in performing unnecessary preventive repairs on a ten-year-old Elantra. If a problem develops with a mount, you can replace the one with the problem at that time. As for the price, it's hard to say. Your car has four engine/trans mounts. If the price is for all four, that's probably a reasonable price. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |
