When I had my front left bearing replaced, it was $105 for the part, and 1/2 hour labour.......$150 all up for one bearing.......so yes for both front bearings, I would say $560 is a bit over the top.....

Take your business somewhere else.

Just a little too much there mate, you're being take for a ride so look elsewhere.

Also just so you know SMS speak is very much frowned upon (there's even a warning for it!) so try to use full sentences and words.
