We have a high school in town that teaches mechanics, as well as in the university here. They are usually begging for cars to work on. They do not charge labour, just you buy the parts. The teacher will tell you what you need to buy as well. We have had fuel filters replaced, oil changes, a slave cylindar replaced, tires mounted, rotated and balanced. This has saved us hundreds of dollars. I know they have worked on timing chains and more, because I have had converastions with my son about what he did that day. Everything is checked by a certified mechanic (the teacher) before leaving the shop.

I suggest you check out the schools in your area. Chances are the engine mounts are not that expensive, and its just a matter of the labour to remove the engine, change them and put it back in. Sounds like its about the right thing for kids to be learning how to do! Might save yourself a whole lot of money.
