I also think this excuse from the shop is rather shaky. This is a shop that has been very good for me for a number of years. This is the first time that it has let me down. Unfortunately to me this is a rather big issue, particualy as this car is a tiptronic so I don't have the advantage of piggybacking a bearing change on to a clutch replacement.

Thanks for posting their response. So basically, they acknowledge that the Pro bearing is more durable, but they don't feel comfy installing it. Other shops seemingly can install it though. Interested to hear if they say it was hard for them to install the sticker too.
