This thread has incentivized me to relate my experience at the Walmart on 466 two months ago, which I had intended to do then. I had a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) light on my panel for a couple of months (no danger - pressures were fine). My SIL told me that Walmart advertises changing an individual tire monitor for $28.80. Anyway, I took the vehicle to them and instructed them to change the adjacent monitor if they found a bad one, i.e. if R front was bad, also change the L front one, as well. My wife & I walked across the street to get a sandwich while they were working on the vehicle. We had barely sat down with our sandwiches when Walmart called - the car was finished. All four TPMS monitors were fine but needed reprogrammed (requires a special scanner equipment). The charge was $0.00 and I became an instant fan. It seems honesty/integrity is a rare commodity these days. Thank you Walmart on 466
