Common Auto Repair Questions
How do I check tire pressure correctly?
Start with cold tires—generally before driving or after the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours. Remove the valve cap, press a tire pressure gauge firmly onto the valve stem, and compare the reading with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure. Adjust as needed and replace the valve cap. Check the spare when applicable.
Where can I find the recommended tire pressure for my vehicle?
For most passenger vehicles, look on the driver’s door placard or in the owner’s manual. The pressure molded onto the tire sidewall is not necessarily the correct operating pressure for your vehicle. Commercial vehicles may require tire manufacturer load-and-inflation tables based on tire size, configuration and actual axle loads.
Why does cold weather cause the tire pressure warning light to come on?
Tire pressure drops as temperatures fall, which can trigger the tire pressure monitoring system. Check all tires with a gauge rather than assuming the warning is only weather-related. Inflate them to the specified cold pressure, and have recurring pressure loss inspected for leaks or damage.
Does a TPMS sensor replace checking tires with a pressure gauge?
No. A TPMS sensor helps warn drivers about pressure problems, but it does not replace regular manual checks. Some tire pressure monitoring systems measure pressure directly, while others infer changes from wheel-speed data. A warning that persists after pressures are corrected may require a leak inspection, system reset or sensor diagnosis.
Can I use an air compressor to adjust my car’s tire pressure?
Use equipment rated for your tires and follow the vehicle and tire manufacturers’ procedures. Check pressure with a tire pressure gauge and inflate to the specified cold pressure; an air compressor does not replace inspections for damage, wear or leaks. A damaged or severely underinflated tire should be assessed by a qualified tire technician before inflation.
No pressure. No surprises.
Just clear information and quality repairs.
