Pepboy UNTRAINED IN TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS COST CUSTOMER $137 ripoff Hicksville New York

That Fix-A-Flat garbage will destroy the sensors. If you use that junk in your tire, be prepared to spend even more money to fix it right. It eats aluminum rims too. The days of the free tire rotation are over because of the time involved in resetting the computer too.

I consider SOME mechanics, to be some of the most valuable people on the face of the earth. I've been with one guy for over 20 years. My point was what a rip off the coupon was. I would however be royally pissed IF some mechanic had destroyed my tire sensors. Of course the shop WOULD be paying for the replacements. As a matter of fact, a couple of months ago I got new tires and rims on my truck. The manager at discount tire and I had that very same discussion about the pressure sensors and he took it upon himself, to do the job himself, to make sure it got done right. An outstanding job by a great guy. So there.

You know for all you as the guy below who say what morons and mechanics are and how we dont know anything.

well than heres a good question if your so smart and know what all the new computer senors and all the other electronic magic under the hood of the newer cars does than why dont you fix it huh. oh thats right because you work at a department store as a salesman making 6.50 and hour and living pay check to pay check.

let me tell you people something not all techs are these morons u speak of some are yes but there are guys like me whom went to two diffrent tech schools for 8 years and have a master ase certificate along with have a dozen others and im not out to rip anyone off have these guys are not now as far as pep boys cmon if you would suck it up and pay the dealer u wouldnt have this problem.

but as far as making fun of techs its not right right now i work at a porsche dealer and make well over 175k a year so please dont tell me that techs like me are morons.

Got a coupon from a local dealer for an oil change for $49.95. On the coupon, one of the services that will be provided is; REG-U-LATE TI-RE PRESSURE. Now I'm wondering what type of, if any, formal schooling you have to attend to become certified to be able to REG-U-LATE TI-RE PRESSURE. Probably the same school it takes to mount sensors. Maybe charles can tell us.

is under warranty, you should have had a dealer do it and not had a problem. You went to a fly by night operation in respect to wrenching yet they are to blame.

Perhaps these rims/tires were/are going to void your warranty and that's why you went there instead of the proper place to go?

You are just as much to blame as they since you knew there was an allegedly sensitive issue to deal with.
