I have just been told that my engine mounts are bad, 1 is collapsed, 1
is "just bad" and the other two are going bad.

Cost to repair $1,000.00 (ball park)

Is this accurate? Also, I am from the Pittsburgh area if anyone
knows of someone to perform the work - please let me know!

Are there 'instructions' on how to do the work from Honda?

i think that's way high.

unlikely all of them are broken. get a second opinion, including from
an independent honda specialist if necessary.

So what symptoms led you to seek the diagnosis in the first place?
Motor mounts were suspected in my "97's drive train vibration problem
on acceleration and it turned out to be a badly out of balance CV
drive axle.
