Wheel bearings are not real easy. I did mine a couple of months ago in two+/- hours, but I have a press and a lot of tools that not everyone has. On your estimate a couple of things come to mind. Firstly the labor for changing the front rotors and pads and the labor for changing out the wheel bearings tends to cover a lot of the same ground. Secondly, the rotor price is pretty stiff...as I recall 2 rotors from Roger last summer were under $200. Also, your transmission holds more like 8 quarts of oil if he drains the converter, which he should do. And are the pads for 2 wheels or 4? If for 2 wheels he is doubling up the parts prices, not all uncommon in car repairs.... the prices on your estimate are not horrible, but they are "enough".
