Default Dealerships truly are Stealerships

I went to Chevrolet and asked for tpms for my 2008 corvette. The clerk said the each tpms cost $118!!! That's freaking crazy, he said that he can sell them to me at wholesale price for $83!!! I said, "cya, I can get them cheaper online". I did go to AutoZone and each cost $56 for none oem. I'll be looking online.

you can get the whole set for 80 bucks off amazon and they're OEM parts from ACDELCO or SCHRADER. I don't recall the part number but I'am sure someone will chime in like they did for me when I was in need of some assistance. Happy Hunting!

Beware of generic (even "Delco") TPMS sensors from Amazon and other third parties. They may or may not work on the same frequency as your car. CULTRAG has genuine GM TPMS sensors guaranteed to work:

C6 Year Part No. CULTRAG price
2005-2009 25758220 $80.06 + shipping
2010-2013 20925924 $52.04 + shipping

I think that's for the price of 1.

Basically the same price as the stealership.

Got mine from Rockauto.com
Multiple choices including Delco for good prices. I got the Schrader brand, and programmed myself fine.

Although the sensor batteries are supposed to last about 10 years, I wouldn't want to buy a set that were 5 years old already.

Is there a date stamp on them, or any other way to tell how old the internal batteries are?

They have to keep the lights on man. Amazon sellers are totally different.

We all like to buy stuff for a low price but you can't expect a dealer (with their huge overhead) to sell stuff for the same price as some guy making beer money selling stuff from his basement. Lots of Amazon sellers don't have ANY of the typical business expenses. No employees, no phone lines, no business insurance, no commercial lease, etc, etc.

Well, the dealer can maintain their higher GPM if needed. But, the GPM of $0 in sales isn't too impressive. They can keep their lights on in other ways but to charge 2-3x what we can get online? Nope...
