Patching

Plugging
In the plugging process, we firstly un-mount your car tyres. After that, we shove an adhesive-coated leather piece to the damaged section. Upon rolling, the leather adhesive will plug in the damaged area and seal the hole.
Plug and Patch

What is TPMS?
Most modern vehicles come with a TPMS system that works with direct or indirect TPMS sensors Longton which indicate any fluctuation in your car’s tyre pressure.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is responsible for scanning and notifying drivers of the real-time tyre air pressure data. Whenever the tyre pressure falls 25% below the recommended range, the TPMS warning light on your car’s dashboard will light up.
There are two types of TPMS, namely:
Direct TPMS
This system uses dedicated sensors in each wheel to read the tyre pressures directly in real-time.
Indirect TPMS
Here, the system depends on the ABS sensors, for example, and determine the tyre pressure values indirectly.
Common causes of TPMS sensor damage
The TPMS is an electronic system, and hence, it is prone to damages. For instance, the TPMS warning light may go off even if the tyre pressures are correct. Therefore, industry experts suggest timely TPMS servicing Longton.
Incorrect TPMS sensor settings
There are chances that your vehicle’s TPMS setting is incorrect. This will cause the sensor light to blink without any actual tyre pressure fluctuation. Since different car manufacturers have different default setting specifications, we will conduct the servicing and rectify your car’s TPMS accordingly.
Failing battery
The most common symptom of a failing TPMS battery is a false warning. In such cases, you will have to replace old sensors (as the battery cannot be taken out separately in most cases) and buy new TPMS sensors Longton.
Physical damage
TPMS sensors usually work in a harsh environment of extreme temperatures, pressures and vibrations. These factors might lead to accelerated sensor damage, and you will have to opt for a replacement.
However, regardless of the issue, we can help.
