Wheel bearing service, how much?

[rjniles]

Had a mobile RV repair mechanic come to my house and service the wheel bearings. This is work I have done myself in the past but my knees are getting so bad it is painful to get down on the ground. Passport 195RB dual axle. He was here about an hour and a half, replaced seals, cleaned and re-greased bearings, reinstalled and adjusted brakes. $305 (including a $85 service call). How does that compare to what others are paying?

Miracle. I would have tipped heavily.

I gave him $350 and he said call him any time.

Cheap labor. Around here it's 135 an hour.... If you can get someone to come out....if

Thanks for the feedback, I also thought it was a good deal. He broke it down as:
Service call. $85
4 seals @ $10. 40
Labor. 180
Total $305

He also drove 50 miles to my house.

You not only got a good deal but I've found it more and more difficult to get mobile service for that.

We charge 2 hours labor(.5 per hub) at $159 per hour plus 4 seals. You got a good deal. Doug
