Can you take your vehicle to the shop one month and they tell youn there is absolutely nothing wrong with the vehicle and one month later your bearings have now gone bad.?

Bearings where, motor, wheel ? In either case, they can go bad that quickly and without notice. Sometimes things just happen. Engine bearings go almost immediately with no oil. Blocked oil passage or bad oil pump will do it. A wheel bearing can have been dry for a while without making noise and then seize up. You could also be being scammed. Engine bearings will knock if only a little bad and a wheel bearing will squeal or lock the wheel.
