Over the past dozen years, close to 180 million light trucks and cars have been sold in the United States – they’ve all been equipped with TPMS. With a sensor inside each wheel, it’s clear that the service opportunities will only continue to expand.
The Car Care Council recommends that tire pressure be checked at least once a month and more often during cold weather months.
ACDelco recently announced it is expanding its aftermarket offerings to give shop owners more choices in two high-growth areas: Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors and new – not rebuilt or remanufactured – brake calipers that will be sold with no core charge.
California State Legislature has passed AB 1665, a bill that will require “an automotive repair dealer that repairs tires or changes tires shall be capable of diagnosing and servicing a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in accordance with industry standards if the vehicle is manufactured with the device.”
