$300? A TPS sensor replacement should cost like $75 including the sensor itself.

About $300 is what the mechanics in the area usually charge. The dealership is more.

Each?!?!

Fuck that. I'll pay $300 for the set and let them do the work for me. LOL

Yeah, $70 for one sensor installed is pretty cheap. Is your $300 number for all 4? Because that's more expensive than Discount Tire's price...

They are like 50 bucks for all 4 tires on ebay. Just get a wheel shop to install it.

Yeah bro let me just eyeball the difference between 32 psi and 36 psi with my fucking laser eyes.

That's complete robbery. Go to a tire shop.

A tire pressure sensor sensor? And the tire pressure sensor sensor includes the sensor itself? 😉

TPMS = Tire Pressure Monitoring System

So yes, "TPMS sensor" is a valid term.
