Maybe it is a time consuming job,or they don't have the specific knowledge. Did they not even give you a quote? Do the main tyre places do it- Kwik fit etc? Yes ask for a price ow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mine indicates if the pressure drops by say 4 or 5 psi from target level, so far more sensitive than just for flats that you might feel whilst driving. hmm. On my car it has come on once due to flat tyre, and twice due to a failing sensor which had to be replaced! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

This was for a mini, and I think their parts are more expensive than other brands though. 12 hours ago, bassett one said: try quick fit,they have been good to me,but they where under guarantee Yes, have used the one on Penistone road twice and they were good (despite the companies reputation....).

bassett one 452 #31 Posted June 16, 2021 sorry cannot tell you the cost of most work done by quick fit as it was under motability,but they always have sorted out any problems top class Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest #32 Posted June 19, 2021 Make sure it works off sensors first. I have a tyre pressure warning light for over or under, but no sensors, it uses the ABS sensors (I think) over all 4 wheels to work out if the overall pressure is out of spec.
