OEM wheel bearing replacement

My front right tire started making a very faint grinding noise. I took it to the dealer and stated that my wheel bearing needed replacement. They quoted me $230 for parts and 2 hours for labor for a total of $430.

Does this seem normal? I don't do my own work, so I don't mind paying for someone else to do it, as long as the price is fair.

Hmm, I called two different dealers and got similar pricing...guess that is the norm.

Sadly, yes. That is about right. I found that out last summer.

2 hours labor doesn't sound crazy, although it's really more of a 30-45min job, front or rear.

$230 sounds a bit high, should be more like $180-190
