    We are attempting to establish a fee for resetting tire pressure monitoring systems. Some vehicles are simpler than others. Possibly clock time with a minimum or maybe flat-rate. What do you think knowing time is money?

    We usually don’t charge anything because people are not educated about the systems and everyone else seems to be giving it away. I raised the rate on all my tire services to try to compensate for lost revenue due to TPMS. If there is a faulty sensor then we charge for the repair but if it is just a reset due to low pressure or a rotation there is no extra charge.

    Here is what walmart is doing http://www.walmart.com/catalog/catalog.gsp?cat=495845

    I think discussing actual price/time is not allowed.

    That said, there is a lot of real estate between rotating tires and relearning positions when needed to a ‘squishy tire’ lamp blaring with a non pressure related issue.

    I think the former should be built in to a rotation price. Some sort themselves out without any fuss.

    Actual problems handled like any other system testing quote.

    We charge $10.00 with no problems. That’s a six minute charge.
