Good afternoon,

Can you post a copy of the receipt of the work you had done?

There are three mounts and one engine strut which controls the movement of the motor.

Did he charge you for a diagnostic for this? if he did and it did not fix the problem, you are not responsible for his mis diagnosis of the issue. I would stop payments on your payment as this is his issue not yours.

Is there a way you could take a video and load it on this site? Some engines do move a lot others not as much. Perhaps seeing it move would help.
