Not sure in which law this belongs..

I took my vehicle to canadian tire due to "tire noise" as I explained. They suggested I pay for diagnostics first ($50) so they know what it is, I thought it was wheel bearing but I agreed and paid for that.

They came back saying yes it's wheel bearing, so I told them to change it.. in the process they stripped a screw so I had to change drive shaft too, OK fine.

$500 later I drive the car home, at the closing (last min) and noise is still there!

Anything I can do? There should be a reason to pay for diagnostics.

I have a feeling now when I change the tires noise will be gone, so that means I changed wheel bearing for nothing

So, CHANGE the tire. If the noise is GONE, like you expect, you can sue the tire joint in small claims court. I don't know if you'd win, but suing them is cheap, quick and easy.
