* Location: Labor rates differ greatly by region and even by shop. A mechanic in a high-cost area will charge more than one in a lower-cost area.
* Number of mounts: The Focus has multiple motor mounts. Replacing one is cheaper than replacing all of them. The quote will depend on which mount(s) need replacing.
* Shop type: Independent shops generally charge less than dealerships.
* Parts cost: The price of the motor mount itself can vary depending on the brand (OEM Ford vs. aftermarket).
* Difficulty of the repair: Some motor mount replacements are more complex than others, requiring more labor time.
Therefore, it's impossible to give a precise price. However, you can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $800 or more. The lower end of that range would likely involve replacing a single mount at an independent shop with an aftermarket part, while the higher end could reflect multiple mounts, a dealership, OEM parts, and a more challenging repair.
To get an accurate estimate, you should contact several local mechanics or dealerships and ask for quotes. Be sure to specify which motor mount needs replacing (if you know) and whether you prefer OEM or aftermarket parts.
