Wheel Bearing Replacement: Cost & Prices

Hello everyone!

My front wheel bearing (driver's side) is starting to fail (now at 94,000 km / Golf IV AJM). It's starting to make a rolling noise.

My mechanic says it will cost approximately 300€ (one wheel bearing plus installation and removal).

Isn't that a bit overpriced?
According to the expert, 2 hours of labor are scheduled for this particular storage unit.

Can this be correct?

What are your thoughts on this?

'Thank you.'

I'll ask about it tomorrow afternoon (Monday).

Sure, here's the translation:

'It would be nice...'

Thank you in advance...

Hi,
"I paid around 250 euros two years ago for two front wheel bearings on an A6, if that's helpful. However, that was at an independent garage. I would recommend replacing both wheel bearings if one is worn out, because the other one usually won't last much longer."
Just get a counteroffer from a less-than-"friendly" workshop.

Best regards from Berlin.

'I replaced the wheel bearings myself on my old Passat 35i facelift. It took about 2-3 hours for both sides, but I had to take it to a local mechanic to have the bearings pressed in and out (one bearing was so tight that the press had a hard time). I paid a small fee for their help, and the bearings were from an auto parts store with a 150,000 km warranty. I don't remember exactly how much the bearings cost, but it wasn't much.'
