We've put together the most important information on tires, vehicle maintenance, repairs, warranties, and more to help you drive with confidence.
A faulty sensor means you may not receive a warning if your tire pressure becomes unsafe. Replacing a failed TPMS sensor helps ensure you’re alerted to potential tire issues before they become bigger problems.
In most vehicles, the battery is sealed inside the sensor and cannot be replaced separately. When the battery dies, the entire TPMS sensor is typically replaced.
Not always. If your sensors are working properly, they can often be reused. However, if a sensor has failed or is nearing the end of its battery life, replacing it during a tire installation can save time and labor later.
Most TPMS sensors last between 5 and 10 years. Over time, the internal battery can wear out, requiring the sensor to be replaced.
A TPMS warning light usually means one or more of your tires has low air pressure. If the light stays on after you’ve properly inflated your tires, or if it flashes, there may be a problem with one of the TPMS sensors that should be inspected by a technician.
A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor continuously monitors the air pressure in your tires and alerts you when one or more tires are underinflated. This helps improve safety, handling, fuel efficiency, and tire life.
You should service your vehicle every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first, for routine maintenance like oil changes and inspections. Always check your owner’s manual, as some vehicles and driving conditions may require more frequent attention to keep everything running smoothly and safely.
Any of our friendly, neighborhood locations can help you determine the schedule that’s best for your car. In many cases, the maintenance schedule is determined by the manufacturer for optimal service life for your vehicle; this can be found in the owner’s manual.
Appointments are recommended, but walk-ins are always welcome.
Absolutely. We provide clear estimates and only complete the work you approve.
It could be something simple or serious. We recommend a diagnostic scan to find the cause.
After each oil change at Kerry's Car Care, our technician will place a reminder sticker in the upper left-hand corner of your windshield. For added convenience, we can also send you a service reminder when it’s time for your next appointment. To enroll in this program, ask your Service Advisor for details.”
No. In fact, it is against the law for a manufacturer to dishonor their warranty just because the vehicle was serviced elsewhere. As long as the service is performed by capable car mechanics like the ones at your friendly neighborhood Kerry's Car Care, your warranty is valid.
