Recommended replacement motor and transmission mounts?

Flex pipe broke and it's due to the motor mounts being bad. I got a quote for the repair and the two front motor mounts and the two transmission mounts are around $129 a piece. It's going to cost $1.2k to get them replaced. I went online and found motor mounts and whole kits for way less. However, for all I know they are trash quality and will break right away, so I came here to see where you all buy your mounts. Help me save some money please!

Usually you only need to replace the upper motor mount , over on the passenger side . All you need to do is support the engine with a floor jack and a piece of wood under the oil pan , just support it don’t lift it! And then remove the three 15 mm head bolts and 2 18 mm nuts. Lift out the mount and slide in the new one. I installed the Anchor brand for my automatic transmission listed in here

As for the front and rear transmission mounts they are also fairly easy to change

Year? Miles? Motor? Auto or manual?

It’s a 2008 so unless it’s an SS , it’ll have the same motor mount for all years if automatic transmission. Mileage is irrelevant at this age

Flat rate labor for all 4 mounts comes to 4.2 hours. Something like $450 in parts from GM, much cheaper elsewhere.
Petty easy to do if you have a jack and a socket set.
