Default $440 to install rear wheel bearing - labor only - fair price?
Got quoted $440 in labor to install a rear wheel bearing. I have the part. Should I go somewhere else?

Default way too much money. I just spent half that on parts and labor but I was in a bind
to get it done. Had I sourced the part I would have saved another $40.00 or so.

I got both done at different Indie shops a year apart and they each charged $250.

Default Go elsewhere, my last time was $350 and that was $100 greater than the previous time.
I must sound something like Elliot Spitzer.

should be around $165 for each, including the bearing itself.
