Anyone know a reasonably priced place to install TPMS and road force balance in the queens/LI area?

I paid 50 each last time and they took all of 10 - 15 minutes to install and balance all four so there must be someone who is willing to do it for less.
That's really over priced. Must be a COVID thing.

50 dollars for each mount and rebalancing is price gouging, 200 dollars just in mounting and rebalancing??? Check if you have a Discount/Americas tire near you. The mounting and rebalancing is 16 dollars per tire.

100 dollar per sensor is like OEM BMW price.

You can get these aftermarket ones from FCPEuro for 31 dollars each (when they're back in stock).

FCP Eurostuff have lifetime warranty.
The fcp ones didn't have any reviews either. Even with a warranty it costs a lot to remove and replace them. Agree 200 was a ripoff. I went to RCT in Long Island. What made matters worse is one of the toms was leaking so I had a flat the next day. When I sprayed soapy water on the sensor I saw that it was leaking so I went to tighten it. I guess I tightened too much and the sensor came loose inside the tire. I had to pay another 50 to fix that even though I was a bit pissed it was leaking to begin with. However he got me on the fact that I tightened too much.
