Ouch.. I hope they at least used some vaseline..

$200 is easier to take than $400

Yep, it's with the hub. I had priced these out, and realized when they gave me the price, it was for both(about 400). The place I had it at yesterday charged me $430 for one!

That was just the damn hub. I'm going to double check tonight, and make sure they didn't do both. If they didn't there will be HELL to pay tomorrow. I've done a ton of business with this place, and also my inlaws. That will come to a screeching halt. And I'll inform them, that, working for the areas major utilitly company, that I will inform every person I work with what they did.

Hopefully they did both for that price and your all set..

I would be leary about any future work they do if you stay with them..

Once a shop takes advantage like that you can never trust them..

I usually don't have them do that type of work, usually just tires and alignments, but the bearing failed in there lot, so I figured instead of towing it home...


Wife says the reciept says for right side only....

Yep. We'll see. I'm sure they'll listen attentively, and then do nothing.

Hopefully the threat of losing future business will make them act and give you a refund..

I'd be fine if they'd go ahead, and do the left side at no charge.
