    I need a new hub...

    So I need a new hub for the driver's side front wheel because the dealer during one of their services has cross-threaded one of the bolt holes. I can't prove it wasn't me hence the dealer wont cover it and I have to pay for it.

    Does about $400 sound like the going rate? (for new hub, wheel bolt, labour, gst etc.)

    man, get a quote at volkspower as well.

    their servicing costs were like $120 less than actual VW dealership.
