Is the garage charging me to much?

[JFGauvreau]

2003 Dodge Ram SLT, 2wd, 5.7 HEMI V8.

-2 new lifetime warranty bearings
-Right tie-rode replace

800$ with installation + Taxes (Canadian money)

Is it to much? Seems kinda high for small parts like this, but I could be wrong.

What's the labor charge ?

I see about $450 US in parts.......

[JFGauvreau]

I check with a parts store in my city and they said the highest end bearings where 500$ each, so I think it's a good price he gave me. Labor charge I'm guessing is probably close to 75$/hour.

Fair price, if you knew his overhead you would understand his price.

What kind of bearing? Wheel bearings?

Shoot...I'd press the hub out and install new bearings. I've done this many times on autos.

Im suprised the labor rate is only 75$, everyone around here is at 95$ per hour. Funny thing is mechanics are all quitting because they can make any money, the shops at 95 $ per hour ar paying mechanics 13$ of that.

around here,mechanics wages on the lower end of the pay scale are $30.00 per hour and go up to double that .Mechanics are quitting here to gain a few extra bucks in the mines as "pretend " mechanics .
