Default stealership ripoff

So I called Nissan today to get my TPMS calibrated, put some new wheels on. They said it would be $102 with tax. Not too long ago they charged me $39, I ask him why was it so different and he said their labor rate has gone up. This probably be the last time I ever go to a dealership again. F-ck, it. The job only take a few minutes, maybe 10min!

Ouch... they charged you $102 to put on some aftermarket wheels + calibrate ur tpms? I just recently put on wheels on but ended up getting the tpms reprogrammed for FREE! I got hook ups! But they were going to charge me $56 dollars so $39 is cheap!

No, sorry. I already had the rims and tires mounted someone else. $102 is just for the TMPS.

^^ Wow! $100 for just that. I was thinking this was a little high for mounting the wheels and tires, and setting the TPMS.

That is just a great way to lose customer loyalty and any goodwill.
