How much does it cost to replace motor mounts on an Acura TL?
Most Acura TL motor-mount replacements cost roughly $500 to $1,100, depending on how many mounts are replaced and whether you use aftermarket or OEM parts. This article explains the price factors, provides typical ranges, and offers tips to save money.
What affects the price
Costs can vary widely based on several factors, including how many mounts you need replaced, the quality of parts, and labor rates in your area.
- Number of mounts replaced (one, two, or all three)
- Type of mounts and their accessibility (front engine mount, rear/torque mount, transmission mount)
- Parts quality: aftermarket vs OEM/dealer
- Labor rates and shop location
- Additional services or repairs required (engine supports, crossmember removal, alignment checks)
- Vehicle condition and model year, which can affect part availability and labor time
In short, costs are driven by mounts count, parts choice, and local labor prices, so quotes can vary by several hundred dollars.
