PT Cruiser motor mounts

[Thomas Blow]

Guys etc.,
I have a PT Cruiser 2004 I bought new and recently cleaned and chromed up. But there is vibration at idle, with brake on and 2000 RPM the engine moves too much which is classic for motor mount failure. There are two videos I especially like and they cover adjustment and the replacement of two of the motor mounts. I swear if you watch these you will think, all this does not even take one hour.
Video 1. https://youtu.be/a0jKK5B_hoE start at 2:15 who says while you are doing this adjustment you should replace at least the easy to get to motor mounts
Video 2. https://youtu.be/n6oRS60dBag which covers both of these.

Do you think this would take a mechanic an hour and do you think there is someone near Nashville who could do this for me? I am a 70-year old retired veteran.

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
Thank you for your service.

Usually, the labor cost is determined by book time. You may be able to find someone doing side work that may do it cheaper. Since I’m not around Nashville, I have no idea who would do that int he Nashville area.
