Oh, Good for you -- you're lucky your dealership is willing to do that as NOT ALL of them are so willing. I've heard of some dealerships flat out refuse to install ANYTHING NOT purchased directly from their parts dept/dealership. And they can do that as it's up to the dealership.

My experience is I had one dealership agree to program the OEM key fob but REFUSED to cut the OEM key because neither were purchased from their dealership but they were making an exception to program the fob. I purchased both fob and key from Bell Lexus (because they were on sale), DID NOT open them and left both in the original packaging. They still refused, but if I purchased from their parts dept, they would. I NO LONGER go to that dealership.

I know these were not tires, but I suspect they'd do the same if I brought outside tires in.

The dealership I go to is willing to install OEM parts bought from another dealership but say they can't warranty the parts as they weren't purchased from their dealership and I'm okay with that as you mentioned, they are covered from where they're purchased from.

 

Apologies, I didn’t write my response well. Didn’t mean to sound so resolute. 🤦🏽‍♂️😎

 

No need — it’s all good 👍🏽
