Colon Tire Service

Recently I went to this tire shop on a Saturday to have a new tire mounted on the right rear passenger side. My car has tire pressure monitors installed on all 4 wheels. The shop charged $10.00 for the mounting. Following the replacement my incorrect pressure light came on. When I checked the pressure, the tire was way over the required pressure which is 35 psi. I let some air out, but this didn't solve the problem. Later that day I tried resetting the tire pressure monitoring system. It reset, but a warning stayed on. By the end of the week the system gave out and would not reset, and I could not reactivate it. After some research on these new systems, I realized that the tire shop must have damaged the tire pressure monitor. I went back to see Frank the manager. He gave me about 1 minute of his time and advised me to disconnect and then reconnect the battery cables. Upshot of the story--had to spend $400 for a new pressure sensor and a reconfiguration of the system. Unfortunately the tire shop is a semi-streetside operation with cash only and no receipts, otherwise I would be in court in a minute for the damage done. So exercise caution in using this shop if your car has the new tire monitoring system that most vehicles now have.
