For a couple of days, the car Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the car and the remote system have been saying the left front tire pressure was low. I checked the tire pressure manually and it was fine. I thought we had a sensor failure, again, and it was somehow causing a problem with the remote system. Today, I finally went to my favorite tire chain, Discount Tires, to get the sensor checked. The person at Discount Tire told me the left rear was low and had a nail in it. We got lucky. Lesson learned, if you get a low reading on the TPMS, check all the tires. What happened is when we had the oil changed, we had the tires rotated. The place that rotated the tires did not reprogram the TMPS sensors and I was looking at the wrong tire for a problem. Discount tires not only fixed the leak, they reprogramed the sensors to reflect the correct position all at their normal charge of $0. This is one of the reasons I buy my tires a Discount Tires. I want to thank them for their services and their prices are competitive. BTW the tires on the car came with the car and were not purchased at Discount Tires. Even though I did not buy tires there, I got the same great service as if I was a regular customer of that store.
