Motor Mount, Transmission Mount - $1500?

I have to replace the motor mounts and transmission mount. The local dealership quoted $1500. Is that too much? Seem like a lot because people on this forum have replace them themselves. The parts are not too expensive. Thanks!

Here is a price for one motor mount and transmission mount...

PS...my bad...I just reread your OP and saw that you probably priced them out. I guess labor will be what you have to shop for...MB will be the costlier option. Based on the cost of the parts $750 sounds about right...

Unless you are going on a 1000mile road-trip, then you can time it out to get the loaner car....hehehehe

Thats normally how I get some of my cost back...
