Roadworthy Quote

[Flanderz]

Damn, My mechanic just called and its gonna cost me 950-1000 bucks to get a roadworthy done on the Integra, (WITHOUT 4 NEW TYRES) I'll post the quote when I get it but I was only expecting arount 600 fully done. what a set back. He was saying something about engine mounts and rear trailing arms only being genuine honda parts, is this true??? When I post the parts for the quote could someone tell me if i'm being ripped off or not? I heard about urathane engine mounts to stop wheel skipping? would I be better off getting these instead of the genuine honda parts??? Thanks for the help.
Also there is alot of road noise comming from the front, i got told it was my wheel bearings, but this guy said it was just my tyres and that you cant really judge until you get new tyres and see if the car still makes alot of road noise.????? Thanks again

That means putting an unroadworthy vehicle on our roads? Placing "US" at risks?

maybe the reason its that much is because it requires work done to it to get it roadworthy.

Exactly.

have you tried taking it to another mechanic?

when i went to get a roadworthy for my car the first mechanic said he couldn't give me one till i fixed a list of thing one been my transmission mounts, i thought this was odd as i do regular check ups and so i got a second opinion from a very highly respected performance mechanic and the car was roadworthy except for the 2 front tyres.

careful of mechanics who are tryin to scam you, i've met many of these dodgy bast$#ds, they act all nice while they're emptying your pocket

If you don't really trust the mechanic, then get a second opinion. But do the work that needs to be done. Engine mounts and rear trailing arms are fairly serious, and if not fixed can put you and other peoples lives at risk.

But make sure he isn't ripping you off and making stuff up, get a second quote.

Yeah well he acted very nicely, while emptying $66 for the quote, I thought I could trust him, my family have been for years now. Oh well still gott pick up the car and have a look at the quote.

Both front & rear engine mounts are broken and need to be replaced, quote was $300-350 including labour
