Using TPMS Tools to Improve Shop Processes – With Autel’s Scott Flynn
For nearly two decades, TPMS technology advancements have played a huge role in vehicle safety and maintenance. As the industry evolves, tire pressure monitoring systems offer more than just basic pressure readings — they integrate with digital vehicle inspections to provide customers with transparent, data-driven insights about their vehicle’s health. This shift helps build customer trust in auto repair, ensuring they make informed service decisions.
In this discussion, Erik Screeden, technical and multimedia director for Modern Tire Dealer, is joined by Scott Flynn, senior director of sales at Autel, to explore how modern TPMS tools enhance shop efficiency. With features like TPMS sensor replacement, system diagnostics, and service functions, today’s tools allow technicians to perform multiple tasks from a single device. This streamlines workflow and improves communication with customers about necessary repairs.
Flynn highlights how these advancements help shops offer better service while giving customers confidence in their repair decisions. Having clear, visual information is key to addressing unexpected issues or planning future maintenance.
