holy crap lol. Is their labor rate $30 per/min? I've never been there but I don't want to know how much other services cost. I paid 10 bucks for mine to be pressed, and I thought that was too much.

Any decent repair shop or even machine shop should have a hydraulic press. I went to a local shop here. Pressing bearings isn't science.

Unfortunately I can't recommend anyone lol, to be honest with you, I was driving our company truck getting quotes on a minor fender fix. while waiting for one of those quotes, I stopped by next door (a small repair shop) and asked the owner to press it for me lol. Just stop by your local repair shops, ask if they have a hydraulic press, then ask them to press it for you. Where do you live in So. Cal?

That's pretty good. I don't get why some shops charge over $90..
