4WD repair costs

What is a reasonable cost for repairing 4WD on L3010?
Grinding noise in 4QD, 2WD works fine. Thought it was wheel bearing. Dealer replaces bearing n seal, cost me $500. Thought that was outrageous!

What does your bill tell you? How many parts did they replace and how much did they cost? What was the labor cost?

I assume if you could have fixed it yourself you would have; How much would it have cost you to learn to do it, buy the parts and tools and pay for your time? 500 seems pretty reasonable to me considering what it costs to keep a competent employee and not someone who half-a$$es stuff. the parts may not have cost much but I guarantee the overhead to keep the shop open with employees and tools does.

I would charge $600 per side to replace the Bearings, seals and orings.

Did they fix it, or is it still messed up?

$500 for a front wheel bearing and seal repair parts and labor sounds normal.
