Most Firestone locations will have a Snap On tool capable of resetting most all vehicles.

I had mine programmed all 4 sensors at Americas Tires more than a year ago. The price should not be more than $50. How much is dealer charging you?

Why do you need them reset? Unless either a sensor is bad or the ecu mixed up the serial numbers (which ive seen happen), it can be done with out a scan tool.

Is the light just staying on?

Right, in the case of new sensors they need to be programmed, wasn't sure if thats what the OP's issue is
