strut mount longevity
How long should strut mounts last? I had them replaced a little over a year ago, and am now told they need replacement AGAIN. Shop says they will pay for the parts, but want me to pay labor, which is a lot more: $266 for both sides.
Is it possible the strut mounts were incorrectly installed in the first place? Car does nothing but routine suburban driving, plus an occasional Boston pothole.
Thanks for any insights.

Re: What color are they? What shocks & springs? Wheels & tires?
The mounts were replaced when they installed new strut inserts. Unfortunately, I don't know the brand of either-- I wish I'd asked, but I do know they charged $50 for each mount. This shop won't let me supply my own parts.
Everything else is stock, except 15" audi rims instead of the stock 14".
Thanks for the help.
