TPMS Low Tire Pressure Warning Light – Problem

Many modern vehicles 2007 and newer are equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). This safety system can detect air leak or low tire pressure and warn the driver early about the problem before flat tire becomes more severe. Air pressure sensors are mounted inside each wheel and send constant pressure reading to TPMS computer. If any of the tires start to loose air – the warning light on the dashboard turns on.

In some cases the light might indicate only drop of pressure by a few PSI and you can still drive your car to a nearby tire shop, other times the tire got completely completely and needs to be repaired on site or changed.

When attempting to fix it on their own and change a flat tire, drivers usually run in to a few of the same problems. The tools that came with the vehicle are just marginal and inadequate for the job, placing emergency scissor jack in the wrong spot doesn’t provide enough ground clearance or the spare tire is either flat or low on air to the point where it is not drivable.

Flat Tire Plug Repair

Emergency tire plug or patch is one of the ways to seal punctured tire and stop air from escaping. Our drivers carry tire repair kits and tire compressor on their trucks for convenient mobile tire repair on the spot.

Whenever it’s possible we can remove the object from the tread and if the hole is not irregular or too big the tire could be patched with a nylon tire plug and reinflated.

In Tire Repair Safety Is Our First Priority.

Vehicle tires, as mentioned above, are one of the most important components of the vehicles. Tire rubber and tread flexes and stretches under high temperatures that why tire structural integrity is extremely important. In some cases tire damage is too extensive or sidewall is damaged and tire could not be repaired.

Repairable Tire Tread Area.

Tire plugs and tire patches only can be used to repair punctures on within certain portion of tire tread. Sidewall or inner and outer tire edges could not be repaired. Our technician will inspect your tire on scene and will offer the safest option to either fic the tire, install a spare tire or tow your vehicle to a tire shop.

Flat Tire Towing To Tire Shop

Many modern vehicles on the road do not carry spare tire for emergency use. Instead of temporary tire there is a sealant and inflator kit included in the trunk of a car. From our experience in most cases the tire sealant and inflator combo does not for most people and they end up needing a flatbed towing to a local tire shop.
