What is the factory recommended service interval for wheel bearings? Look it up in your owners manual.
As far as me working on your car, I likely would tell you I wasn't interested. But surely in a more colorful way.

A service interval isnt relivent and it is not what this post is about. A mercedes benz tech looked at his car and found the wheel bearings in need of attention. They dont show a service interval for motor mounts do they? No . Interval for say- bushings -brakes- heck for even tires? Yet I have had to repair, replace hundreds of these items. The point I am tring to hit home is that when there is a problem, it should not be ignored because there isnt a service interval for it.
And for the record, the thing about working on my car is a loaded statment -as I dont think I have had any one in my entire life work on one of my cars.
Again sir, I was not intending to be disrespectful, just differences of opinion
