better off getting a wheel bearing and swivel hub kit which comes with all your bearings and seals

Did you pay them to change the seals??
Personally I would have recommended that the swivel hub seals be replaced at the same time, but thats just me.

Thats pretty slack on their behalf. I'd be finding a new mechanic.

You got basic hand tools Mick?
I'd recommend giving it a go yourself. Its not too hard to do.
