How much should it cost to replace all 4 wheel bearings?

if it's a very faint grinding kinda noise then your brake pads are very very worn and will need changing. it'll be because the brake calipers are closing on the disc and the pad is almost worn through, so instead of pad on metal you get metal on metal - hence the noise. My advice is if you know anyone handy with cars it will take them 2 mins to check, if not get it to a garage asap.

This type of thing cannot be accurately diagnosed on here, it needs someone who knows what they are looking at and listening to to take a peek; that's why I'd stay clear of 'quick-fit' centres; they don't even know which end the engine is in!!

Could be brake dust. Try cleaning up the brakes.

If you're unsure it may be better to take your car to a brake specialist for a safety inspection and analysis. It could be a dust build-up between the brake parts, glazing of the brake pad material, or brake wear.

Error code P1294?

Your brakes could be gone, or I'd say your caliper might be sticking. In otherword the piston is pushed out and cause the pad to rub against the rotor even while you are not braking. Making the squeaking. You might need new brake calipers, or they might need to be rebuilt. (Usually easier and cheaper to just replace the caliper)
Or possibly new brakes either way you should have a mechanic look at them just to be sure.
If you just had your brakes done, you should allow at least a 200 mile break in period on the brakes. but if the squeaking persist have em checked out.

A lot of time people don't realize that they are suppose to replace many other parts at the same time when doing brakes... like brake pin or bolt which can also aid in the malfunctioning of they're brake system. and then also no one really checks wheel bearingsor greases them either.
Also brake fluid soaked brakes can cause problems.
Make sure you have a pro do your brakes.
It's either stop... or be stopped by the wall or another car... your choice.

Car Valeting for a garage is it usually good money or what ?

If your brakes are making noise without being applied your brake pads are just about shot. The best thing to do, if you can, is to take one of the front tires off and check the condition of your brake pads and rotors. Brake pads are cheap and really easy to change. If you don't have tools or mechanical ability take this car somewhere to be repaired. Brake problems are dangerous to you and other motorists. The longer you wait the more it will cost you. Worn brake pads can warp rotors so you need to address the problem promptly. Good luck.

When I shift my car Into drive, It jerks really hard some times, why Is this?

hi, sounds like a garage job, it could be that the pad is not retracting as it should, and its catching on the disc, you touch the brake pedal, it retracts after that and the noise goes, till the next time it decides to stick.l agree with other comments about Quick fitter places or OEM garages or lying slags as l call them
