TPMS
Posted by joekessel on February 19, 2011 at 10:43 pmWe 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 have done free rotations on new sets of tires we sell for about 15 yrs.we have a set rate of 15.00 on resets for about the last 3yrs and have had no trouble.
We charge $10.00 with no problems. That’s a six minute charge.
