Hi I'm Peter, It would be highly unlikely that changing out a battery would cause the window motor to fail. A couple of things come to mind, one there is a possibility for some reason you may have a fuse blown or a relay go bad these can be checked in the fuse box under the hood and possibly the fuse panel inside the car usually somewhere around the drivers left leg. Another possibility I have seen is where someone put a cheaper battery with not enough amperage to handle the load of the window motor but they are normally slower then not stopped and also if the other window motors are working the weaker battery most likely isn't the problem. Worse comes to worse and the fuse and\or relay you can remove the switch on the door and check or voltage at the switch and if you do the check continuity through the switch t make sure it is operating. The way you worded your query it seems like the driver and the passenger on the driver side windows or just the driver window and all the rest are working. I would also like to know if there are any other electrical things not working now dome lights, radio, das lights, etc.

While normally I would never take a car to the dealer if I can at all help it, it sounds like a good idea in this case.

One reason is that they will have more experience with the symptoms of a bad motor mount.
But changing a motor mount should never cost more than something near $100. They just are not that hard to do or expensive to make.

Automatic transmissions are much harder to diagnose, so I would do the mount first, and see if everything is ok.
But you should already be on your second oil change in the transmission already, so you should probably do it if you have not done so.
But a transmission oil change should not be more than $75.
It is even easier then a motor mount, and all it requires is a gasket, filter, and oil.
It is good to do because you can see if there is any wear, debris, burnt oil, etc., when you drop the pan.

But you could also just take it to some other independent, for a 2nd opinion.
These are not hard tasks.

But $900 seems about 3 times too much.
And they are not actually guaranteeing anything.
They said it is not sure if it will be repaired after that.
And they are right, because it could be the transmission is going bad, and will cost $900 to fix.
But the odds of that are low.
It is probably not going bad yet.
