    Hey all, the front wheel bearings on my 2005 Pre-Runner are going bad and need to be replaced. I'd do it myself, but a recent injury has me on the bench for a bit.

    Can you recommend any shops in Fort Worth? Thanks in advance.

    Ouch. $1,200 to replace the bearings and hubs. Did not think it would be near that much.

    Nobody will ever say this but I will, Tandem is way overpriced. :crapstorm:
    Both hubs, w/bearings, can be bought for $375 so they want $825 for 2-3 hours labor. $275 an hour is flat out stupid. Order the hubs on here for $375 & I'll do it for $400! :anonymous: :rofl:

    The local favorite in my neighborhood is Heath's Automotive, near Trinity Drive in Hurst. Highly recommended for general repairs.
