So nice to see a honest repair shop. My wife had her oil changed at Toyota yesterday and they installed new wipers front and rear plus did a front end alignment after rotating the tires. They stuck her with a bill over $300 and she wasn’t consulted about any of it. The oil and filter are covered under the warranty we bought. I called them up and said the wiper blades were free along with the alignment because of no notification to decide if we wanted their services. The shop foreman and the three owners were in a large argument so I told my wife to just leave without paying the bill. I took it back today and confronted one of the owners who reduced the bill to cost on the wiper blades to $60 which I paid but told the service manager to never pull that trick on my wife again.

Good morning Ray. My dad ran an independent shop back in the 1970’s. I recall the day they got a computer balancing machine. I was 12 and I watched the demonstration the guy put it in. A couple hours later the owner showed up and my dad told this is so easy my son can do it. The owner did not believe him so I showed him how to use. Funny thing is the balancing machine have not changed much in 45 years.

For the Autel Mx sensors you must first "program" them. this can be off the car before you install them or after. After that you can trigger each sensor in its spot and then "relearn" them to the car. Also, once you get one bad sensor it usually means the battery is bad so you might as well replace them all.
