how much to change motor mounts at a dealer?
 
The engine vibration is finally starting to get to me and I believe my motor mounts from my '04 are pretty much shot. Has anyone got them replaced at the dealer? Curious how much you spent if you did.

Also, if I decide to replace them myself, how difficult of a job is it? I've changed out spark plugs, coils, brakes, cat, etc.

Can someone also point me towards a recommendation? Came across these:

Thanks as always.

~$200 to ~$1200.

Yes, I'm serious. I recommend calling local dealers to get prices. The price can swing HEAVILY from dealer to dealer.

Any local shop should be able to do it too, and their prices should be at the lower end, and far more consistent.

I removed the link from your post, as links to banned vendors aren't allowed here.

Another vendor that isn't banned that has a good option is BHR. Recently released their motor mount solution.

Sorry about that. Been a while since I posted here. Good to know. Thanks for the reply.

mounts are something like $200 each for the parts, and labor should be around an hour for both (its easy).

that puts you at around $500

1.2HR Each as listed by Mazda

If car is on lift, get a log to hold the engine, should be done in less than an hour

warranty time was .8 hours each, so that's about right. if you have some basic tools though you might consider a DIY, its very easy
