TPMS programming question

I got a deal on a set of 350Z rims, so I had them blasted and powder coated dark grey. I put them on the car, but I forgot that my car has a TPMS system and of course my light came on. I found a set for Nissan's on eBay for less than $40 dollars, but I don't want to go to the dealer to get them programmed. I called a few tire shops near me, one of them wouldn't program customer parts and the other said it would cost $100+ dollars. I didn't pay that much when I replaced all four with programming on my F150 yrs ago. What is a reasonable amount to pay to have them programed? Thanks.

"What is a reasonable amount to pay to have them programmed? Thanks."

Very hard question to answer, as there are too many variables.​ What good would it do you if I told you $10.00 a wheel?

A "reasonable" amount to me or to you may not be what a tire shop charges. Their definition of "reasonable' may be different.

You will have to pay the market price for your area.

What you said is true but come on man what you replied with is utterly useless. All you had to say was I paid such and such to have the job done, plain and simple. Thanks for nothing.

100 bucks seems to be a good price considering all the work involved. Hell, that's only 25 a rim. Getting out of a car repair shop with less than a 100 dollar bill, you are doing good.

The week befote last, I had all my tpms sensors replaced, tires rotated and balanced . Reaaonable price? I dont know but total was a bit over $400.

Now in your case, if you have already got them installed, tires mounted and balanced, i would consider the $100-$150 acceptable.

on the other hand, i noticed Amazon has a current deal on an autel 501 for $160 so if you do want to switch to other wheels, not a bad price to invest in a tool that can do the job now and in the future.

I'm glad that two other members said how much they paid. I'm sure that you are happy to gain that information.

Yes, I am happy, the information they provided is very helpful. Some people who frequent these sites forget the purpose is to help their fellow Maxima owners out with advice and knowledge while others take pleasure in being buttholes by starting conflict with stupid or worthless dribble.

I dropped my car off at my local Good Year and they installed and programmed the sensors for $70.56 cent. It would have been cheaper if I could have remembered to ask for the military discount.

Your response is true. People should reply with help if possible, not word salad.

That is a helpful reply. I was wondering what type of equipment would allow a person to take care of the programming themselves.
