I'm at my dealership of choice right now and apparently my TPMS's need to be calibrated. When i got my tires changed 6k miles ago apparently the tire shop i went to didn't calibrate them..

anyhow, anyone know of a place that can calibrate my TPMS for cheaper then 98 dollars?<-- that's what the dealership wants to charge me. :-(

what exactly does it mean when you say you need to calibrate your tpms?

Go walk in the back and tip a tech to do it? You're going to need the consult and the TPMS programmer, so a shop might be out of the question.

I'm not sure why they'd need to be recalibrated. My dealership "reset" mine after I had new tires installed and they didn't charge me a dime. The mechanic was pretty cool, so I don't think he mentioned it.
Unless you put completely different sized tires on, recalibration doesn't make much sense to me. I guess it makes 9800 cents to the dealer.

I had mine done at precision Z. I think he only charges like $40 to reset them. But unless they are from a completely diff car I don't think they need to be calibrated.

40 bucks to push some buttons on a computer? Thats ridiculous...

What you are paying for is the cost of the computer that can do this. Not the labor. That piece of equipment costs like 6g's.

Well after leaving the dealership the TPMS light turned off so that's the least of my worries now. Refer to my new thread for different issue :-(
