    What dealership do you go to? my toyota dealership try to say both my rear wheel bearings were shot and tried charge almost 1000 just to change them.....I knew they where full of bs cause I could tell which wheel it was coming from which was the driver rear not both. I went online bought Timken and torque wranch, in 2 hours, It drove like it was brand new

    Good on you! And yeah: a dealership that will not go overboard (like proposing to replace both sides), maybe offer both OEM and third party bearings (and advice on the pros/cons of each), and charge reasonable labour charges: worth it's weight in gold.
