The TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) is an electronic system that is designed to monitor the air pressure in your tyres. A TPMS warning light should display on your dashboard when your tyre pressure is too low. You may experience a tyre blow out if your tyre pressure is too low and the TPMS system helps to prevent this from happening.
If you have an illuminated TPMS warning light on your dashboard, this indicates a tyre pressure drop in one (or more) of your tyres and needs your immediate attention. Alternatively, the sensor light may be on due to a sensor malfunction (usually due to battery failure or physical damage), which needs to be repaired as soon as possible. All brand new vehicles manufactured since 2014 come with TPMS as standard. If you have a faulty TPMS sensor you could also result in you receiving an immediate failure for the MOT.
When your tyres are at the correct pressure, it does decrease the cost in the fuel you use and also helps the life of the tyre to last longer. The majority of TPMS systems use a sensor which is attached to the back of the tyre valve which detects if your tyre pressure is low. There are some occasions when the sensors will also need to be replaced and re-programmed to your vehicle, our experienced fitters can also provide this service for you and source the sensors and valve if you required them to.
For only £60, we will come out to you at your location, whether it be at work or home, and we will repair your TPMS including fitting new sensors and re-programme it to your vehicle.
If your TPMS light has come on in your vehicle give us a call and one of our friendly fitters will book an appointment with you to come and see you and check your TPMS.

Great service that got my out of a difficult situation on the first day of my holiday! Picked up a nasty puncture on a run flat tyre, and automatically checked the nationwide names. They couldn't provide what I needed and therefore I decided to try a local firm. Spoke to John; it was pretty late in the day and he managed to find me some tyre options and could fit that evening. He called me back when promised and kept me informed all along about arrival time. Driveway delivered great service, even checking pressures on all tyres and resetting my type pressure monitor on the car. John gave me a good price and took all the stress out of what could have been a bad start to my holiday. I totally recommend Driveway and wish them ever success. It is the customer care that makes such a difference. i hope everyone around South Wales gives them a try.

Excellent service from John. Called with a flat tyre in a supermarket car park with my 1 year old and he got to me an hour later and sorted it in the pouring rain. Helpful, friendly and efficient. Will definitely use again!

Highly recommended, fantastic service today from Jon. Excellent customer service, competitive prices and arrived at the time they said they would and the job was completed in 25 minutes! I know where I will be getting my tyres from in the future. Thanks Jon for making a stressful situation manageable
