yeah that does not appear to be the TPMS. So now the real question is, where are your TPMSs?

I sold my stock rims and there in the stockies right now in ny. I got in contact with the buyer and he just received the rims and tires today. I can't believe a high end shop would do something like this. Such bullcrap

If you have a Tire Warehouse near you? Get a set of sensor off ebay cause it cheaper and they can reprogram it for $30 all four. But your gonna have to pay for the dismount and remounting fee which such.

Well I contacted the guy that bought my rims and tires and he said he would send them back to me when he transfers his old tpms. But I will take it back to that place and have them put it in for free since they f***ed up in the first place

Honestly I wouldn't go back to them. I would go back and try and get reimbursed for the extra charges they cost you.

they could be a good shop maybe it was just the guy that did you swap that didnt care enough? or maybe the guy just made a mistake... either way the shop should take care of you and fix it. everyone deserves a second chance

Was this done by an independent tire shop? They can just hold the scanning equipment up to each tire to see what's going on and if in fact one of the sensors is bad. Seems like an unlikely coincidence though.
