Motor mounts
Need to get my motor mounts changed and was wondering how long does the labor take. I was quoted by a shop 6 hours to change them. That seems 
to me. Can you guys let me know and if you guys can recommend a place in Houston to get them done. Thanks ahead of time for info.

I personally watched my indy change my motor mounts in under 2 hours (actually 1 hr 45 mins) the hard way because I have custom headers which made it a ***** to get to the mounts from above. The only reason he took 2 hours was because I was talking his ears off while he was trying to get the job done.

Now, tell this guy where he can get his mounts changed for $100@$50/hr.

See thats what i thought, thanks guys. I may not work to much on my own cars any more but I used to do some things and 6 hours with no headers seemed way to long. Thanks you guys for the input. 6 hours i could make it to Berti's guys, lol JK. Does $580 parts and labor seem reasonable?
