What pushes the price up
| What | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Mount type | Simple rubber mounts cost far less than hydraulic ones. JD Power lists simple mounts at $10 to $150 and hydraulic or active mounts at up to $600. |
| Parts cost | Lemonade lists a single mount at $50 to $250 depending on rubber, polyurethane or hydraulic. RepairPal lists parts near $316 for the average job. |
| Labor time | A mount that is easy to reach takes less time. Lemonade lists labor at $100 to $350, and RepairPal lists $328 to $481. |
| Your vehicle | Trucks and tight engine bays cost more. RepairPal lists a Ford F-150 at $809 to $1,081 and a Toyota Camry at $628 to $709. |
| Number of mounts | Many engines sit on several mounts. Doing two at once can share labor, so ask the shop to check all of them. |
What the price includes
The quote normally covers the new mount and the labor to hold up the engine, remove the old mount and bolt in the new one. RepairPal says its range does not include taxes and fees. Extra costs can include other worn mounts, the transmission mount and parts that must come off to reach the mount.
DIY or hire a pro
Some mounts are simple to change at home, but most need a jack, a support for the engine and the right tools. The engine has to be held up while the old mount comes out, and a slip can damage parts or hurt you. Lemonade lists parts at $50 to $250, so a DIY job saves labor of $100 to $350. If you are not sure, hire a pro. Shops can also check the other mounts and the transmission mount while they are there. Bad mounts often show up as clunks or shaking.
How to tell you need it
A bad motor mount often causes a thump when you start, shift or stop. You may feel more shaking at idle or through the steering wheel. The engine may look like it sits at an odd angle, or the rubber may look cracked or split. If the engine moves a lot when you press the gas, get it checked soon.
How to judge your quote
- Ask if the quote is per mount or for all mounts.
- Ask which mount type is used: rubber, polyurethane or hydraulic.
- Ask if the shop checked the other mounts and the transmission mount.
- Ask if the price includes taxes and shop fees.
- Compare the total with the range above: $250 to $798 per mount installed for most people in 2026.
Ways to pay less
- Ask the shop to check every mount and quote them together. Shared labor can lower the cost per mount.
- Compare an independent shop with a dealer. Get at least two written quotes, since labor rates differ from shop to shop.
- Choose a standard rubber mount if your car does not need a hydraulic one. JD Power lists simple mounts at $10 to $150.
- Check your warranty or extended plan first. Some plans cover engine mounts when they fail early.
- Do not wait on a bad mount. A worn mount lets the engine move, which can strain hoses and other parts.
Why this costs more in 2026
Trade labor now runs about $75 to $150 an hour in most of the US. Lumber, steel, copper, PVC and concrete all cost more than in 2024, and freight went up after the oil shock that began with the Iran war in February 2026. More cars now use hydraulic and active mounts, which JD Power lists at up to $600 versus $10 to $150 for simple mounts.
