I haven't yet needed to replace the sensors in any of my vehicles, but my sister called me yesterday to ask about the TPMS error on her 2009 'Burban. I told it was probably a dead battery in one of the sensors, and that she should go ahead and get them all done. She said she had trouble getting her land yacht scheduled for service at the dealer, but I told her any tire shop should be able to handle it. She said she always goes to DisKount Tyres; I said fine, take it there.
Today she texts me a copy of the bill: 4 sensors @ $60 each and 5 bucks apiece to install them, for a nice round total of $260. I wasn't terribly surprised; I figured it would be about 200 bucks. She was a bit shocked at the markup on the parts, since I'd shown her genuine Delco sensors on Amazon for less than 20 bucks apiece. (DT actually used a universal replacement that's $28 on Amazon.) I told her that was probably typical: they're probably marking up the parts 100 percent over their cost.
I've got a 2012 Acadia that will soon need TPMS sensors. How much are y'all paying to get this done? Has anyone bought the sensors online then taken them to a shop to get them installed? How did that work out?
