That's ridiculous; It would take them 5 minutes if they're REALLY slow...
They just have to plug into your computer and activate the chirp. (Kind of
a strange system; seems to me that they should have designed it so that the
customer could change their alarm preferences.)
If possible, you might want to find a different dealership. (For this,
and maybe for any future repairs.) You may have to drive a few miles extra,
but sometimes it can be worth it. Something like this where the dealer doesn't
get any money and it is a minor hassle might be a good way to guage the
various service departments in your area...
