I don't think a shop would have been as thorough as I was...I went the few extra miles to make sure the atx would last me a long time (hopefully)! I would estimate shop charges would have been closer to the 3000 dollar mark with everything I replaced.......

I replaced all mounts with the exception of the front engine mount on the passenger side - it was in good shape. The atx driver side fender mount is critical. It only need to deflect a 1/4 inch or so before it is riding on your frame which can crack the case. If you look the the driver side wheelwell you can determine if it is riding on your frame or not. Auto Zone has this mount for about 34 dollars...
