Needed tires for one of the vehicles and for some stupid reason, I didn't shop Amazon - just checked the tires out on Firestone corporate website and set the local appointment after it confirmed stock (odd size).
Got to Firestone today and said I wanted new TPMS sensors since I knew 2 were already bad. Guy says, why do you want those? They cost more than the tires you are buying?
I was like, well they are 10 years old and I would rather replace all 4 now rather than come back in later. How much are you charging?
He says $125 EACH. At which point I mentioned, loudly R&G has them for $45 and Goodyear has them for $55. He claims theirs a are "junk". I explain that I am cancelling my appointment.
Just found the tires on Amazon and they are being shipped to Sears who sells new Nippondenso TPMS sensors for $50.
Firestone locally has completely lost all my business at this point - and I have 4 vehicles here.
