timing belt tensioner + motor mount

[kevinssf]

I've searched around here and seems that alot of us pilot owners have problems with the motor mounts, in different areas(left right front rear).
I took the pilot in to the dealer to get the timing belt service done and they told me that i needed to replace a timing belt tensioner because it is leaking coolant and that the right motor mount is broken...
has anyone had problems with the timing belt tensioner?
what are you guys paying for this service?
im getting qouted for $966 or so for the whole service which is
-timing belt
-water pump
-all belts
-cam seals
-crank seals
-anti-freeze 1 gallon
-right side motor mount
-timing belt tensioner

I'm not groking the "timing belt tensioner leaking coolant".... AFAIK, the tensioner doesn't have any coolant in it. I think it is just a spring-loaded device.

But assuming the motor mount and tensioner are bad, the price sounds about right for a dealer job, maybe a little less than average.

I just had everything done in your list minus the tensioner at my local Honda dealership and it cost me just under $650. They originally quoted me just under $700 but also got an additional $50 off when I went to pay the bill. Plus they provided a free loaner (09 Pilot) for two days. I guess it all depends how bad they want your business with the current economic crisis.

This was a tough decision since I always work on my vehicles but time and work have not been on my side lately. I am impressed with the service I have received from this dealer since I purchased my '03 Pilot. I just bought it two months ago and have taking in twice, first time for a thorough check up and second for the timing belt service.
