Default TPMS tool?

HI all,
Just putting the call out for anyone in the Baltimore area willing to help me reset my new wheel sensors. I've been to a local tire shop who said "no problem bring your car by and we will do it for free" (They have worked on other vehicles for me.) They were unable to get their tool to work on my wheels. They thought that batteries were low. I like my local dealer but not their shop. They would need the car for a day to do the reset. (no deal) I have IForged wheels with IForged valve stems that hold the sensors. I'm thinking of buying the tool, but may not need to use it again for years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks, but I don't think the magnet works on the C6 sensors. It needs to be an "RF tool"

Are you a Costco member ? I'm a GM for Costco and if one of my members came by with his request I'd do it for them. We have the equipment but technically don't do it unless you bought the tires form us. If you say pretty please they should do it as a "member service"

I might have to join Costco. Sam's member now. It's just down the road. Costco is across town.
Thanks
