With more and more vehicles entering service locations requiring TPMS service, the need has never been greater for the industry to speak in one voice as to how to handle these types of services. The panel we have assembled includes industry experts from all aspects of TPMS service including representatives from 31 Inc., ATEQ, Bartec, Continental, Dill, Pacific, Schrader, Tiremetrix, and TRW. In this seminar we will take attendees through the entire service process and provide them with industry recommended best practices to help standardize how these vehicles are approached. By implementing a standard operating procedure for TPMS, a service center can make sure all technicians and service writers are all on the same page, and this can help turn TPMS service into the profit center it should be. We will also hear from some of the manufacturers on where this technology is heading and what we can expect in the next few years for the future of TPMS.
