I consider myself so lucky that I have always been a DIY person... Unless I'm personally acquainted with the person servicing the wheel bearings and know his expertise level, I do my own. This is about the easiest huge disaster someone with sub-par mechanic skills can cause. One of those skills that you need to be taught by someone with experience. You just cannot "book learn" setting wheel bearing tightness.
And most dont know how to properly inspect the whole bearing or what stage of life it is at when looking at wear patterns. A wheel assembly coming off at 60 mph? This is the stuff that can kill people.
