Hi,
Last week I went to Buena Park Honda in CA for an oil change and they
found nothing wrong with my car (in the free 21 pt inspection). Today I
went to Kaiser Honda in Los Angeles for a transmission fluid flush
(fluid color was very brown). I have a 2001 Honda Accord EX V6 with
82000 that I just drove cross-country. After service, Kaiser told me my
front engine motor mount was broken and needed replacement at $350. Is
there a way for me to tell if the mount is broken? aka, if the dealer
is really telling the truth?
please let me know
thanks

don't go to dealer

do everythining you can yourself

if necessaary drive one side of car up on curb

don't go to dealer

look at motor mount yourself

have assistant rev motor

figure it out

don't go to dealer

i recommend above plus

if YOU think motor mount bad

take it out and fix with jb weld epoxy

don't go to dealer

best regards

But fixing a broke motor mount with JB weld?
Thats kind of mickey mouse in my book..

It sorta depends on what part of the mount is "broke" or exactly what
mount it might be.

On my '83 Civic, the torque mounts all had bad bushings. I got some
silicone black stuff in a tube that stiffens up on curing and so far I
have no evidence of engine "rock." Time will tell but I'll betcha it is
good for a few years. Meanwhile, I have two on the bench that I'll
apply the same treatment to and when the time comes...

Well, apparently the engine rocks. Mechanic sat in the car and started
the car, then revved. Engine really tilted...dang...350$ right there.
thanks for your replies!
