Default Wow. Last time I had a wheelbearing changed, I paid for the part and ONE hour of labor..

How are they changing these things? Take the whole car apart, and use hammer and chisel to press out the hub and bearing? With the on the car tool, it takes no time at all. I know I live in an area where they don't rape you with labor charges, but that's recockulous.

If I was you, I would get really pissy with them, and get some of your money back, and never go there again.

Default Agreed...also

I'm hoping this guy is an employee, so that I can get him fired....he has no business dealing with the public. And if he's the owner, I really don't know what I can do.....but I can say, god bless the internet

I haven't mentioned their name yet here but I will.
