It should be only $20 to $30, per side, for a shop to replace the bearings. That's about how much it was when I had to do one.

Only a fool would bring the whole car there to get the wheel bearings replaced.
Jack the car up, put it on stands, take the knuckles off, and bring them over to the shop with the new bearings and seal kit.
It should only be $20 to $30, maybe $40 depending on the shop.

And while you have the knuckles out, it would be easy enough to replace the axles yourself. Just read all the DIY's on this forum.
Obviously it might take a bit longer than it would take a shop, but you'd be gaining valuable experience as well as saving a ton of money
