Default more pointless repairs

410$ for front and rear wheel bearing replacement then it turns out ontop of this there's an evaporator leak and something is wrong with the abs system, either the sensors or the module. I'm not even gunna bother fixing that stuff for now seeing as the bearings emptied my wallet out enough for now.

i know how you feel, it seems like everything on my car is in need of replacing (already did MAF, sparkplugs, now I need gaskets and probably an O2 sensor) makes me scared to mod and add any kinda stress

I just took it to a local shop that specializes in european cars. They do some decent work and considering I've had bad experiences everywhere I decided to stick to this place for now.

was there an ABS problem before the wheels bearings were done? If not take it back to the shop and make sure they plugged in all the sensors and didnt break one during the wheel bearing job.

Ya the morning of when I braught it in it was acting up so I don't think it's the shop's fault. Anyone know how to safely disconnect the abs system without causing a CEL?
