Mazda Millenia Repair, wheel bearing and hub to be replaced?
I have a 1999 mazda millenia. Recently I started to feel vibrations near the left wheel. Mechanic after diagnosis figured the wheel bearing and hub need to be replaced.
He also asked me to go in for a wheel alignment and said the total cost would come upto USD 500. This is in Minneapolis with the zip 55423
Would like to know, is this a fair price or am I getting ripped off.
Also, if I delay the replacement, is there any danger while driving on a freeway. If anybody knows a cheaper place for getting a mazda repaired in Minneapolis near the zip 55423, would greatly appreciate it.
Answer:
By the way I work in a shop in Minneapolis. While I'm not at work to throw together a comparative bid, given labor rates in the area and the fact this is a Millenia (spotty parts availability) this price sounds about spot-on.
Is there a danger to driving on it?
Yes, if its in rough enough shape.
