$263 for TPMS swap?

Got new wheels for my truck. 4 new tires

Asked shop to take my tpms from current wheels to swap to new

8 tire dismount
8 tires remount
4 tires balanced
4 tpms swap

$263 quote

Does that sound high, or is that normal?

I want to get it done this week

Thanks

 

Around these parts it's 30 bucks a tire for mounting costs. 8x30=$240. So I'd say it's reasonable.

 

That's BS. You can buy 4 brand new sensors and have them installed for less

 

$70 @ discount tire

 

Read his post. He is demounting and mounting 8 tires. Swapping 4 tpms. Balancing 4 tires. Also where are you buying 4 sensors for $263?

 

I just paid 130 for 5 tires mount and 4 TPMS swaps. Your price sounds fair

 

True, I guess considering 8 tires it's fair. Americas Tire offered me free install if I buy sensors from them. Batteries are dying on my 09. Quote was about $120 iirc.

Just leave the sensors in the old wheels and start fresh

 

I just bought a new sensor today and had it installed for $65. Then a second one went out today and they threw it in for free. Could of had something to do with that dozen hot donuts I brought in with me.

I also bought a new set of tires today too.

 

Really?

 

Ok thanks

 

For?

 

Thanks!

 

Stopped by another store in a non desirable zip code, and quote was $160 for same job.

 

Yes that sounds right.

 

Which shop do you trust to do a good job?

 

Out here we have a lot of mom and pop shops. Charged me $100 to do exactly what you want done.

 

Seems a little steep. For the set of wheels that the TPMS are currently on- they shouldn't have to dismount the tire completely, just need to pop one bead to get the sensor out. Not sure if that info will help you negotiate price but it may. I was in the same boat when switching from AT's to MT's. I was going to switch to NATO steelies for my wheels. I ended up just keeping my stock OR alloys.

 

My local one, even though its higher priced. I don't want anybody to scratch up a set of new Volks.

 

Yeah makes sense in Salinas. Cost of living adjustment I suppose

 

Around here I would trust Les Schawb first and Discount Tire second.
