Hill Top Tire provides Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) services to Fort Plain, NY, Sharon Springs, NY, Cherry Valley, NY, and other surrounding areas.

Your TPMS System Keeps You Rolling Safely!

Since the introduction of the TREAD act in 2006, vehicle manufacturers are mandated to include Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) in most of their builds. Your TPMS protects you, your passengers, your wheels and your tires from the daily weathering of driving. Being aware of your tire pressure can significantly boost your vehicle’s overal performance, fuel efficiency, and the life of your tires!

Types of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

Depending on its make and model, your vehicle may monitor your tire pressure in one of two ways:

• Direct: With sensors placed inside your tires, this type of sensor is able to transmit data about your tire pressure to a central control unit–effectively letting you know when it’s for your next fill up!
• Indirect: By detecting changes in pressure by way of tire speed. This type of sensor relies heavily on your vehicle’s computer, as well as its anti-lock braking system (ABS) to monitor your vehicle’s tire pressure.

Benefits of TPMS Service and Repair

Your vehicle’s TPMS works hard as it continuously monitors the air pressure in your tires. When your tire’s air pressure dips below the manufacturer’s recommended pressure level, your TPMS system will detect and then report this drop in pressure to your vehicle’s dashboard–effectively warning you that it’s time to bring your vehicle into our shop so that your issues can be remedied by our expert staff!

When you visit us for TPMS maintenance service, our service staff will run a series of tests to ensure that the system is operating both correctly and at maximum efficiency. If our technicians uncover damage to the system or its accompanying components, they may need to replace valve cores, valve nuts, seals, seal washers, or valve caps. If you are in need of TPMS repairs, maintenance, or replacement services, or if you are in need of a TPMS installation service, then give us a call, or schedule your appointment with us today.
