If the dealer doesn't, I will lend them mine. I always carry them in one of the storage bins in back.

If they don't know anything about pucks I would want to talk to the mechanic to see if he knows. And if he doesn't I'd be finding another dealer. My .02

The ones I bought (referred by someone here several months ago) were from a BMW dealer and fit the C5 perfectly. Seems like the set was around $45. They're ABS and once they're "clicked" in place, they stay. Installed them about 10 months ago and they're still there. I guess you could say I always carry them with me.

Mine does but I have the BMW pucks attached to the car, so there is no need too.
