What is a fair price for a new wheel bearing fitted to my Ford Focus (X REG) Front wheel bearing?

by admin on February 10, 2011

I know nobody works for nothing and it is a skilled repair that only a few people can do so obviously the guy is not going to work for the minimum wage … However I don’t want my eyes taken out for a repair on my car.
I have bought the wheel bearing kit from an auto-discount shop so I only need a price for the Labour.
Thanks for your help.

the spindle must be removed because that is a pressed in bearing. the spindle must be put in a press to remove old bearing and install new one the bearing is about 60-80$ and the labor is between 150-250$

as you are supplying the bearing you may have to pay a surcharge but the job depending on no hassles would take 2 hrs circa and most garages charge about £25 per hour.
