Transmission mount is easy the motor mounts are a lil more involved but still doable. I'm going to say 3 hours labor max to do them in a shop but if your doing it in your drive way on your back it will take longer.

I found a package on eBay for 94-00 motor mounts and transmission mounts for $99.99 shipped, I can link you if you'd like.
Difficulty? Transmission mount is easy, if you can fit under the car, just bolts in, engine mounts are similar just a little bit harder.

What is the shop called? I'd like to do some research and see if there's something near me, as of now I am a front yard mechanic working on my drive way, and at my works shop

I would recommend you too stay away from aftermarket mounts. I as well as many others have had many bad experiences with the cheap mounts. OEM mounts are the way to go.

Personally if I were you, I'd listen to Sha, he's very knowledgable and has been a big help, I always do thing the cheap janky way. Mainly because I haven't planned on keeping the car, problem is, if you decide to go oem, you're looking at roughly about$225-300 for all depending where you go.
The investment is more up front, however though in the long run you will thank yourself more.
