I thought I would put out about my TPMS programming costs since a thread is listed about the costs (~$90 each) of the monitors....................... I had my after-market wheels/tires/sensor package installed by my dealership.... SouthBay Mitsubishi...... when I took delivery of the car. I had paid extra to have the after-market company install sensors that would fit and compliment my new wheels. The tires/wheels also came balanced. Southbay removed the OEM wheels/tires, installed my after-market wheels/tires, "programmed" the sensors...... and charged me $166.00! I had assumed (incorrectly of course) that they would probably install the new wheels/tires pro bono. At the least......not charge me $166.00! Remember, I had just walked out of the sales office after writing a check for the whole price of the car. I just thought it was tacky and bullsh*t! I'm curious to what you guys think about this. Like I said...... I had JUST written a check for the whole $36,000+! OK...... so they didn't do it for nothing.... but $166!

 

I can only understand that since there were aftermarket stuff that they aren't "covered" by the dealership warranty.

wow, i thought it was only $75

 

repost

 

If you just bought a 36k car and had money for rims why is $166 a big deal?

 

you know what they say "nothing in life is free" i would have probably asked them first if they would do it for free rather than assume they would do it for free.

 

Actually............ in the first week of purchasing the car....... I had dumped another $4100 for the wheels & tires, $2300 for custom leather interior, $1250 for the Ecutek Tune and ETS Intake, $1400 Clear Bra & Tint! So.......... It wasn't about the "actual" $166 bucks. I assumed incorrectly....... that they would just swap them out as a "courtesy" since I had "JUST" bought a car off of them or atleast charge me a "nominal" fee. I personnaly think it was tacky only because I am a businessman and I know how I treat my clients and what I would do in that situation. I am just curious if anyone else feels the same way I do? Either way...... no harm no foul!

 

big ballah.

 

What does that mean in english?

Looked up in the dictionary....
