Mechanic in Ankeny

My niece in Ankeny goes to Woody’s. Not sure if that is good or bad.
Might ask @CyTwins, his minivan is still rolling and he hangs in Ankeny when he’s not living in Carroll or driving by Casa Ferentz, causing neighborly lawsuits.

I've heard good things about Christian Brothers
Also might not hurt to try the Chevy dealership, considering how new your car is - for service and parts they're usually good about taking care of "their own"

I've heard good things about Woody's. Have not been there myself though.
Nevermind then. Might be worth it if it's something covered under your warranty, but most smaller shops won't charge to look at it and give a quote.
Super shady update. Car X called back half hour later and offered to knock $300 off the price.
Guy at Tuffy is pretty nice. They worked with me on several things over the years and are always better priced than others I have asked.
If you cannot find anyone you like....have half a day, hard surface and a floor jack.....go buy the entire hub, get on youtube for instructions and do it yourself. The worst part about these is if they are corroded, then you have to beat them out. If not......it's not that difficult and you save yourself a butt load of money.
Third... Great place and does just about anything for a fair price. Everytime I get a nail in my tire it's on the outer tread, and they were one of the few who would repair it, at times for free if you brought the tire in.
Aim High. I've been a few times and like them. Owner is real friendly

A rear hub/bearing assembly is usually pretty easy to replace on a front wheel drive car. Just take off the wheel, brake caliper, rotor and then usually 3 bolts holding the hub assembly in from the back side.
Edit: Found a vid. There's an extra step of unhooking the upper control arm or whatever that is, but no sweat.
$120 at O'Reilly's.

$118 at Autozone and not hard to do it. $1,000 is pure robbery and doesn't surprise me coming from Car X. Stay away from that swindle shop and Tuffy's as well. As ISUAlum says, it's a pretty easy job. Heck, depending on how soon you wanted it done, I'd help you and Iive in Waukee.
Woof. I got my bearings, ball joint, control arm, new front brake disks, front tires, and aligned for 1300 in Charles City.
