No - I don't have any more tools!

Butt.....You can contact Bartec direct. Their contact numbers are on their website at bartecusa.com The Wheelrite Trackside is $200 plus shipping.

You can also do a search on eBay for "bartec" and you'll see that the Bartec Tech 300 is available for about $280. It's a much more capable tool that will do all sensors on all vehicles. If you've got another vehicle with sensors, you might want to spend the extra $$ to get something that you can use when you rotate tires on your wife's car or your SUV or pickup.

If your other vehicle doesn't have sensors, if you get any 4 wheel vehicle less than 10,000 pounds made this September (model year 2008) or after - IT WILL!!!

So, you might consider getting something that works on vehicles other than only on the C6, like the Trackside does.

I went through the Bartec website and received a very prompt reply and later a phone call directing me to a Phoenix area supplier - - outstanding customer service.


Good luck!

Not on line but excellent service from Six Robblees Inc. 3000 Commercial Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99501. Larry Puckett, +1 (907) 276-5171. He could tell you where a Six Robblees is closest to you. I paid $200 for mine.

I bought mine from Wright Tools here in Troy, Michigan.

Talk to Rich Cratch at 248-643-6666 he can ship directly to you...........he may sell the trackside to you for less than MSRP

I just got mine last week....and yes I agree you do need TPS's in your race tires. My set (for the race tires) should arrive today from Gene.

Hope that helps!

Ditto. I dealt with a sales rep by the name of Jim at Wright Tools; you can probably buy the Trackside model at less than MSRP. Also talked to a sales rep with Bartec and he advised that unless you are in the tire business the Trackside unit is essentially all you need. The model 300 is intended for commercial use. The only tires I rotate and change with any degree of regularity are on my corvette and so the Trackside meets my needs.

I just found his card, Jim is Jim Strobridge, 1-800-783-9826 Ext 194. Bartec shows an MSRP of $200 Wright sells it for $140 plus S&H ($7-8). Best price I could find and fast service. C5 XTC
