Some alignment shops go for a ride after doing the alignment without asking for a permission or if i want to ride in the passenger. I hate it seriously. if they focused on if the car drives straight, my car wouldn't have drifted to the right all the time.

Buy some TPMS sensors, have them installed, and STFU.
Why take it to get the light turned off when you don't have sensors installed? Pretty sure there's no way to turn it off completely.

Put your big boy pants on and get over it. He didn't take the car home and show it to his girlfriend. While we all love our cars, think they are the cat's meow and should be babied by everyone it just don't happen. Test drive? A must!

He sees 350Z's everyday I really doubt he would take it out for a joyride. Don't let it get to you too much, he was just doing his job. I've seen technicians take customer cars to lunch and back. If it really bothers you just don't take your car back there again.

Yes, I meant that they weren't in the wheels that came with the car. I got new wheels along with the new Nissan sensors.

I agree with what you guys are saying. I unfortunately wrote this while I was a little ticked but I have thought of it and decided that hey the car is fine and that's all that matters right?

LMAO, you guys are fuccin brutal on here, LMAOOOOO. OP, good luck bro. I bought my car with no TPM sensors in the wheels, and as a tech the fuccin tire pressure light bothers me, but only way around it from my short research on here is get them installed, or i'd ohm out the circuit the tpm light is on and blow the bulb filament, light gone, lol.

Suggestion, get an ignition bypass where you have to enter certain key code otherwise the car shuts off and wont turn on after like 100 ft of driving without the code. Not sure if anyone has gotten one for their z yet, but where car jackings / stealings are common, the mod does wonders. (Although I havent gotten one for myself yet)

basically, to avoid this, take out those POS sensors and put racing valves on.
They will never rot on you

If you are worried about the light, disconnect the LED on the back of your dash.

i did this to my friends Z when he did not want to swap sensors when he broke em, mounting his tires at his old job.

i think you're just acting like a little girl. here you are taking your car to a dealership to help you and you get mad at the dude cuz he speaks another language and has to take your car to make sure the light doesn't light up again. let them do their job

shut up and gtfo

Although I think I would have said it a little differently.
