No, you musta missed my last post.
I think you all misread the OP. You keep concluding that his quote implied $500 for 0.6 hours. If you read the thread title, it's $500 for mount
s - plural. In his OP, he's saying he can't believe that the itemized list is saying 0.6 hours for
only the passenger side mount. The way that I read that was that he knows it is not going to take them that long to do the passenger side mount. He never once stated the entire job was quoted at 0.6 hours for all of the mounts. He also stated that he plans on doing
ALL three of the mounts.

no sense in doing just one or two while I'm at it might as well bang out all three.
That tells me that when he called for a quote, what was asked was NOT: "Uhm...hello. I'd like to get only my passenger side mount replaced. How much?" "That'll be 0.6 hours labor, Sir, so $500."
I believe it went more like "Hello. I'd like to receive a quote on how much replacing
all of my motor mounts would cost me?" "Okay, well let's see here... 0.6 hours labor for the passenger mount. X hours labor for the front mount. X hours labor for the rear mount. In total, Sir, you're looking at around $500."
I'd also like to point out that twice you asked the question, and never once did he answer you, qman. He either skipped over your post and never saw it, or completely ignored it and continued talking to t-rd regarding how he could DIY. Again, telling me that he was only appalled over the labor quote for the
one mount and not that it was implying 0.6 hours = $500. We all know that dealerships and mechanics charge anywhere from $70-100/hr.
Rant threads are the best! Weeeeeeee!
