FixChevrolet Impala — Wheel Bearing / Hub Assembly Replacement Cost
What owners actually paid
The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $313 – $534. A quote inside that band is normal. Cheaper or pricier isn't automatically wrong — but it's worth asking why.
Cost by model year
Newer model years cost more: the newest group runs about 46% above the oldest. If your quote is for a car in one of these groups, compare it with that row. Middle half of real Chevrolet Impala invoices for each group, parts + labor:
| Model years | Typical cost | Median |
|---|---|---|
| 2004 and older | $281 – $453 | $347 |
| 2005–2009 | $300 – $491 | $374 |
| 2010–2014 | $346 – $570 | $442 |
| 2015–2019 | $409 – $699 | $508 |
Real repair reports

What this repair is
The wheel bearing lets each wheel spin freely under the car's weight. A worn one hums or growls, rising with speed and changing when you swerve. Most modern vehicles use a sealed hub assembly — bearing and hub replaced as one unit.
Is your quote fair?
If your quote lands between $313 and $534, it's inside the range where half of all real Chevrolet Impala repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 1.5 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
