In other words this job is probably $250-350 per side done by a mechanic if they have the press and everything else.

 

Perhaps, but a shop would've marked up those bearings as well.

 

I agree. I'm probably on the low side. Whenever I've had similar work done in the past, I've taken the parts to --one-- guy I've known for many years, who has been in business since the 1960s and has forgotten more about cars than most people will ever know. He did my recent brake job, eCVT fluid change, and mounted/balanced my new Pirellis. He doesn't mind me bringing my own parts for him to work on, and there's only one time I've had to return what I brought because he said: "Don't use these, they're junk." It helps to have a good relationship with an old-school mechanic who really knows what he's doing because he's "seen it all."
