Hey,
My rear driver side wheel bearing needs replacing and my mechanic told me its going to cost over $700. I've been told by a couple of people that I'm being ripped off, just wondering what you all think, as my husband and I know pretty much nothing about cars.
Cheers :)

Hello & Welcome...
That sounds expensive, but I dont know your currency and values...
as a comparison I had one done about a month ago, I bought the bearing for about £40, and paid £80 to have it fitted at a local garage.
I do think I paid a 'good' price for the job. Not many would do it cheaper I expect.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
My currency is AUD, 700 seems like a massive rip off in comparison :/
-
If the job goes well it takes 2 hours, if it goes bad then its 4 hours.
Plus a bearing.
-
still seems a little expensive though around £450 :o and welcome to oof :y

Had mine done last year
200 notes - don't know what that translates to currency wise.
200 was more or less what was quoted around where I live in London

You might not be in the right place unfortunately.....
Omegaowners is a forum for Opel Omega B and its relatives, sold mostly in Europe, but which actually included the Holden VT and VT2 - shape Commodore, etc.
The Holden VE is based on a different platform and is not related to Omega B
Sorry.
