Q&A

On 8/18/2011 Firestone installed new front brakes on my car but appx. 2 wks later I heard clunking/some slight grinding noise from under my hood while engaging the steering wheel, turning corners, & gliding over speed bumps. I asked at Firestone who explained it's probably my transmission fluid needs replacing. I went to Firestone to have them look and after the service mgr drove it a little & looked under the hood he stated engine mounts were shot (only three remained-one broke); he directly advised I needed engine mount bushings #3079 for front right-side. Also Struts replaced: (72256F Sensa Trac Strut)front shock/strut assembly-both replace spring/or top mount each side strut mount and end with an alignment. He printed out the recommendation but the total price for everything is $1,744.74. I've been calling around for better prices and am leaning towards doing engine-mount bushings fist because I am low on funds now, but I will get other work done soon after appx. next month. Please advise. Thank you.
