Unhappy Dead tpms

Hey guys, I recently got my OEM wheels dipped in Black Chrome to change the look of the car but now 2 of my tpms are not reading.. I took them off and was very careful when i put them back on.. Not sure what happen but Lexus of Newport said that 2 were pretty much dead.. Can someone help??? They were fine before I took them off and now none of them are registered.. Please help

I don't have much confidence about the dealer...

Before you pay $$ for new TSM sensors, try to have a reputable tire shop look at it.

I trust Newport Lexus about as far as I could chuck an SUV at them - not far lol.

Basically, I don't trust Newport Lexus. They're horrible. Westminster Lexus service is 500% better and very honest.

Who did the black chrome job? Newport? If it was a dealer job, dealer needs to fix their screw up.

You are local to me. First who did the dip for you. Have them look at it and see if there is something they can do if not I would suggest going to HW Motorsports in GG and talk to Steve or Larry. I don't know what exactly they can do but I'm sure they will get you sensors cheaper then Newport Lexus.
