Xj wheel bearings

[David1965]

Yesterday i  bought a 2001 xj8 executive that needs front wheel bearings fitting, the noise is quite unbearable so need dojng fairly soon.

The seller provided the 2 front bearings with the car so just need to have them fitted by a garage, preferably an independent or an ordinary garage. 

Can anyone give me an idea what I should be paying to have the work done.

HI David, 

A main dealer will charge about £160 and hour, but might well quote a price for the job  ---  usually not cheap.  

My mobile mechanic usually charges circa £20 an hour, and a local garage charges about £40 an hour, so at a guess, you would be looking at a quote of £150 ish.

Regards,

Peter.

Have been quoted £100 + vat per side so have got  it booked in tomorrow morning to get one  done at jagtech.

Think only one knackered at the moment.

Job done, only one bearing needed doing and its as quiet as a mouse now.
