How much to reset CEL at dealership?

I installed my Stillen intake just recently and now my check engine light is on (just what I expected). How much will the dealership charge me to reset it (I don't want to do it myself). Thanks!

sorry to steal ur spotlight but i got one simple question, my cel light was on and i had someone pull the codes out and he also reseted it , will it turn on again because i wanna pull the codes out to double check cause the first code i cant find nowhere and the second code was a rear o2 sensor, does the light have to be on to pull the codes out?

You might as well throw your cash in the toilet while punching yourself in the *****. You turn the screw (carefully it's plastic) one way hold...turn it back...repeat. Just follow the instructions given in the link above. You'll be OK.

It's pretty simple to do. You could try the autozone route too.

They are probably BS'ing you, just too lazy. One autozone in my area told me he doesn't pull ECU codes from Imports just Domestics. I told him why don't you try it smart guy, and he did and of course he got the codes.
