TPMS Service Calgary

TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. It's a safety feature (mandatory on all vehicles sold in Canada after 2013) that alerts you when one or more tires are significantly under-inflated. The light can come on for several reasons: a tire losing pressure, cold weather causing pressure to drop, a faulty sensor, a dead sensor battery, or a sensor that wasn't re-programmed after a tire swap. We'll diagnose the exact cause and fix it.

TPMS pricing depends on your vehicle and whether you need new sensors or just re-programming of the ones you already have. Sensor cost in particular varies a lot — European luxury vehicles use pricier OEM sensors than most domestic models. We'll diagnose the exact cause of your warning light and give you a firm quote before any work begins.

Not necessarily — if your existing sensors are working correctly, they'll transfer to the new tires. However, TPMS sensor batteries typically last 7–10 years, so if your sensors are getting older it can make sense to replace them at the same time as new tires to avoid a return trip. We'll check the age and condition of your sensors and give you an honest recommendation.

Yes. We program a wide range of aftermarket (universal) TPMS sensors as well as OEM sensors. Universal sensors are a cost-effective alternative to dealer-priced OEM sensors and work with most vehicle makes and models. We use professional programming tools to ensure the sensors communicate correctly with your vehicle's ECU.

A TPMS diagnosis typically takes 15–20 minutes. If sensor replacement is needed, add 30–45 minutes per wheel. Most TPMS jobs are completed the same day, often within an hour total. Book online to guarantee your time slot — no waiting around.
