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

Unfortunately, Walmart, Sam's Club, Costco and any big box store their auto service
is only as good as the people they hire.

Some are bad, some are good, and others are great.

Glad you were treated well at Walmart.
