TPMS Service Kit?
I scuffed a wheel yesterday and went today to get a quote for a refurb. The only surprise was a £9 charge for a "TPMS service kit". Normal or not? Are there components in a TPMS equipped wheel that automatically need replacement in such circumstances?

TPMS Service Kit?
It’s just the valve stem plus minor other rubber bits when they change a tyre and remove the valve in the case of a repair / refurb..pretty standard stuff..
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Fair enough. Not exactly a dealbreaker but I hadn't anticipated it. Same company fitted my tyres a few months back and if these things were replaced then, they weren't separately itemised.

The kit includes a valve stem retaining screw, the sensor, rubber seal, valve stem, washer, nut, and cap. The sensor end of the system mounts to the inside of the wheel and has a rubber gasket to prevent an air leak. Think of a TPMS as an advanced tire stem (valve).
