Failed engine mounts are an irritating issue to live with causing your car or truck to vibrate and you don't know why. At Performance Auto Repair in Montgomery, AL, we can help, no matter what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive and it is an easy issue to detect on a test drive.
There are a few indicators your engine mounts need to be replaced.

If the engine visibly shakes while it’s running, engine mounts are also likely the culprit. However, if you are like most drivers you simply get in and drive on down the road until something is different or a light comes on! Then you call our shop for help!
