Your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is your first alert for dangerous underinflation. At Dave's Car Care Center in Lafayette, we specialize in TPMS diagnostics, sensor replacements, and system resets to keep your warning system accurate. Serving both our West Pinhook and Ambassador Caffery locations, we service all TPMS types - direct and indirect systems - using OEM-compatible parts and precise calibration tools.
A functioning TPMS prevents blowouts, improves fuel efficiency, and extends tire life. Louisiana's temperature swings cause frequent pressure fluctuations that strain sensors. Our technicians perform complete system checks including battery tests, signal verification, and post-rotation recalibrations. Don't ignore warning lights - we'll identify whether you need sensor service, module repairs, or just a simple reset.

TPMS Service Details
Recognizing System Failure
Watch for warning lights that stay illuminated, flash intermittently, or show incorrect pressures. These indicate sensor battery failure or communication errors needing immediate attention.
Service Intervals
TPMS sensors typically need battery replacement every 5-7 years. We recommend annual system checks, especially before summer and winter temperature extremes.
Post-Service Requirements
Tire rotations, replacements, or pressure adjustments often require TPMS resets. Our technicians always verify proper system function after any wheel service.
