Hi, I'm Scott from Stan's Automotive. Have you ever wanted to know more about your auto
repairs, but were afraid to ask your mechanic? We're dedicated to making sure you can drive
your vehicle for as long as possible with the least amount of expenses. This brief video
provides you with information designed to help you make the right decision about auto
repairs. Most vehicles today are equipped with a Tire-Pressure-Monitoring
System or TPMS.
The TPMS is an electronic system used to monitor the air pressure inside your tires and alert
you if they become under-inflated. If your "low pressure" warning light comes on it means
your tire pressure has dropped 25% or more below the manufacturer's recommended level
and you should bring your vehicle in for service.
We recommend you have your tire pressure checked every time your vehicle is in for service
and your TPMS checked every time you have your tires rotated or balanced. A malfunctioning
TPMS will fail to alert you if your tire pressure is too low and can contribute to increased
braking distances, poor handling, and early tire replacement.
Properly inflated tires lead to increased fuel savings and extended tire life.
However, under inflated tires are the #1 cause of tire failure and a faulty TPMS may lead
to vehicle handling issues if you aren't informed of this problem.
From an environmental point of view, correct tire pressure and properly functioning sensors
will help reduce CO2 emissions and keep your tires from ending up in a landfill prematurely.
