What sort of price am I looking at for a garage to replace a couple of wheel bearings?

I paid 120 from the worst dub specialist in the world, who the put it so out of track I could drove it.... Then they wouldn't track it for me!!
Cost another 50 for tracking elsewhere!!


Believe me its a dead ringer for you! Even says something stupid!

depends on how arsed you can be to do some of the work yourself.

if you remove the hubs and take em to the garage i'd say it would prob cost you 40 sheets all in.

for a garage to do it i'd say about £100
