No, it's not an infectious disease! TPMS = Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
All new passenger cars built from November 2012 have been required to have a TPM System fitted to reduce carbon emissions (from driving with deflated tyres thus decreasing fuel economy). These systems can instantly tell the driver when there has been a pressure loss which is great for the safety of the drive but also helps to reduce tyre wear by letting the user know when to top up on air ensure the tyre is performing at its optimum rate! It's a great addition to modern motoring and sometimes reduces costs for many motorists by considerable annual amounts.
But... in most cases it does involve additional hardware fitted into the wheel assembly the is subject to corrosive elements, wear and tear and battery depletion over time.
A transmitter is fitted to a sensor on the valve and hidden in the wheel. While the batteries have a projected lifespan of seven years, this is all very much an average and failures can occur long beforehand. Main dealership pricing for replacement and renewals can get nasty too. Some systems require expensive reprogramming back into the vehicle where components have failed.
Fear not though! Hometyre to the rescue. We have a system to repair or replace faulty or damaged TPMS unit at an absolute fraction of the price elsewhere. Simple, easy and affordable with our dedicated at home, work (in fact just about anywhere) service. Call us on 01743 861183!
