I had brakes done....$846 w/ labor! They made a note on the invoice that they noticed wheel bearing noise. How serious is this?

My thoughts exactly!
Whenever I see wording like "Note: wheel bearing noise" that smacks of attempting to get some extra work. I have to admit that I would not have a clue what "wheel bearing noise" sounded like exactly in any event without someone telling me what to listen for. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish from tire noise and etc.

That was my assumption, and hence surprise at the note on the invoice.
I may not be a total DIY'er but it's safe to say I can tell noises like that are bad news! When I hear something weird, I come to you guys and then take it to the Indy
