Passat GLX 2.8L V6

This car has been nothing but constant problems.. I took car to a local foreign car clinic to get a cheaper price on repairs instead of expensive volkswagen, completely unaware of the motor mounts being shot. After speaking with the owner of the shop, he said he could replace the 4 motor mounts on the car for about $870.. this is unbelievable!! I have been so careful with this car, never any hard accelerations or anything. This is not even a daily driver.. hard to believe! Engine is going crazy when you change the gears from park, reverse, neutral, drive, etc.. Shop says I better get mounts replaced ASAP before engine completely comes out from under the hood. ugh..
