All Engine Mounts Need Replacement : $110 each + $231 Labour

Both Rack Ends Have Excessive Movement : $175 each + $115 Labour

hello,
what made you take the car to a mechanic? I'd say the prices are a little steep and certainly you may be able to knock out some labour cost by combining some of those items.
Which mechanic did you use? I don't know where you're located but there are VW specialists in most cities. I would suggest you take it to someone who works on VWs all day everyday (and I don't mean a dealer)

If you let us know where you're located we can point you to a VW workshop
