[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the dealer tell you that other tire places will stop the tire pressure sensor from working? And you believed them? They all know how to install tires on new cars. You'll get a better price and a better choice of tires at an actual tire shop. They know how to install them properly.[/quote]

OP here.  Yes, yes they did.  Can you recommend me a good tire shop then?  We live in DC and most of the ones nearby look pretty sketchy.[/quote]

I recommend Radial Tire in Silver Spring, not far off East West Highway. I own BMW and used to have a Porsche 911, which requires the most precise balancing and alignment of just about any car because of the engine sitting low over the rear wheels. If a shop can get that car right I'd trust them to do anything else right. They have always done the job perfectly and been honest and professional.

In general I recommend staying away from dealers and finding a good indie shop for all your needs. There are plenty out there and they often have skilled techs who used to work at stealerships but got tired of the corporate BS of working for a big shop. Less overhead means lower rates for you, too.
