The MOT garage has quoted £190 to replace both including labour and VAT but the maths don't seem to add up to me i.e. it seems very cheap. Volvo have quoted £67.50 + VAT for just one metal 'top mount' plate on its own let alone all the other parts (bearings, rubber sleeves, etc)? I don't know how they have come to this financial figure but it seems like guesswork to me and I am very cautious. I am getting a second opinion but has anyone any experience of this repair as I can only assume you don't really know what the 'excessive wear' is until you take it apart. Anyone have any thoughts?
