Default What is reasonable cost for dealer to reset airbag light?

I need to have my airbag light reset on my 996GT3.

What would be a reasonable dealer cost to do so?

Would anyone in Montreal care to put their Durametric kit to use for a small fee or lunch?

a rennlister should do it for free as we are one big happy family.

But i would suggest something is wrong like the front sensor or the seat belt clip sensor.

a beer is reasonable for 5 mins to reset a sensor.
...however the stealer is not reasonable. find an indie.

The Duametric won't reset the airbag light, I tripped mine changing the steering wheel.

I am bringing my car to the dealer next week.

I reset mine using my Durametric (Enthusiast series) several times.

ya and thats after they charged me about 425 for a "special" alignment as they said cause i asked for RS specs plus they had to adjust my height.
took them 5min for the light.
all this with no dinner...not even a drink...
i had coffee and croissants though while i waited...lol

" please sir bend over while we give you this special rear alignment "


Hard to believe you don't have some decent independents there, especially having a 993 which most indies are really good at as the dealers it seams have moved on...
