2004 c240 4 matic
Was i over charged for parts and labor?
So this mechanic claims i needed two wheel bearings for the front of my car i have a mercedes benz c240 then he also claims i needed oil in my car the total cost was $585 labor included i assume(mind you i had an oil change done last month, cant believe i forgot to check on it). Does this seem accurate or was i over charged?

the front bearing kit is like $80 OEM (Canadian dollars in Canada) from the dealer, so $160 parts. With proper tools such as an arbour press and proper sized arbour, perhaps an hour a side, pushing it maybe 3 hours total. you do the rest of the math I did mine myself without a press and it is a *****. This is on a rear wheel drive.. Maybe more work on a 4 matic
