do it yourself. theyre trying to bend you over.

 

[vdubgolf01]

Believe me if I could do it myself I would.

 

[vwGLI]

then ask around other shops. Im sure they will quote less.

 

[Pssst...passed you]

Unless they are swapping in all new spindles and hubs with the bearings, that is too much.

you can buy brand new spindles with bearing in them for $200. Its a pretty easy job to do as well.

You can rent the bearing removal tool. Or have a shop press them out and in for probably $20

ok simply put removing the spindle is cake work. and 600 someones just being an ass thinking your a sucker. hours rate is 90 there about 30 minutes a side. and i just bought both bearings for 30 off ebay and there persition bearings which is what napa sells as there own line just reboxed

bend over and open your mouth your getting raped


do it yourself man 50 maybe 60 dollar bearings at napa or autozone 600 bucks is outrageous for that i can knock it out in under an hour lmao

 

[vdubgolf01]

Well I took it in at a more reasonable place for $350 for bearings and hubs. Labor was $120 of that so I'm not gonna complain. On to the next issue...

That's not too bad. As long as they did it by the book.
