I would say £60-80 is a fair price.... I paid £30 at mates rates to get my hub and bearing done  :wink:

I would say using a vw specialist in Surrey, the price would be more like £150-200 all in.
Just as well i've got my own press  :wink:

Just dropped mine off at my local mechanic.
Price : £45 + £13 for the brearing kit at GSF.

Methinks you should find another garhaage  :grin:

Had one done for £80 2 months back
thought it was steep given the price of the bearing but seems average now

I need to move then!
A couple of years back i got quotes of £25+VAT just to press the old bearing out and press in the new supplied one, half hours labour i believe.

Between £60 and £80 would be the going rate to be honest.

With or without supplying the bearing kit?
I find it interesting that alot of you think what you paid is steep, it is a reasonably involved job.
