TPMS Service

Quite simply, TPMS is a warning system that tells you when a tire is under-inflated by at least 25%.

All passenger cars model year 2008 and after (and many before) have TPMS because of a federal mandate: Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation [TREAD] Act of 2000.

Tire pressure affects handling (how well your tires “grip” the road), braking, ride quality (how your tires “feel” to you, e.g. smooth, spongy, etc.), tire life and, of course, safety.

In short, TPMS is designed to improve your:

• Driving safety
• Handling
• Fuel efficiency
• Tire life

• The TPMS alert light comes on, and stays on: Usually, it is an under-inflated tire. This is typically an easy fix. Simply stop by, we'll add air or nitrogen*, test your sensors, and get you back on the road safely and confidently.
• The TPMS light flashes or blinks on and off: This typically indicates a system malfunction and requires immediate action. It could be a failed sensor or a problem in the system. Any Tire Pros store can diagnose and either fix or replace your TPMS.
• You ignore the alert (flashing or not): This could lead to a flat tire or worse. Blowouts can cause extensive as well as dangerous accidents. Don’t let yourself get stranded.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System contains a battery that is contained in the sensor. Typically it has a life of 5-10 years (averaging 7 years). This means the sensor will need to be replaced.

You should only trust the safety of your car to a certified professional, a trusted tire expert who has the latest equipment and tools as well as the expertise to service the TPMS on your particular make and model vehicle.
