Hello - TPMS Question
It depends where you go to have it done. If your replacing your tires they shouldn’t charge you much since your tires are off. It’s basically a stud with a nut to hold it in place. You might have to have it programmed I forget what type of sensors the ES uses.
If one tire pressure monitor sensor (TPMS) has gone bad and your car is at least 7 years old then it is likely more of them will soon go bad due to dying batteries. They have to be replaced with new ones as the battery is integral with the unit. They are not included with new tires.
The price varies a lot. I had it done at Costco for about $225 and a local independent shop quoted almost $500. If you do buy tires at the same time you will only pay for the sensors themselves as the labor to install and balance the new tires will be included in the tire installation labor price. If you only need sensors, as I did, the price was $225 or so.
Make sure they program them to your TPMS system. That should be included in the price. Some places try to charge extra. It only takes them 5 minutes to reprogram your car to the new sensors.
I think it is worth joining Costco, BJs or Sam's Club just to get the great price on the replacement TPMS sensors and they also have great tire prices.

Just had one replaced at Discount Tire (America's Tire in California) - - sensor, tax, installation and programming was $50+ out the door . .. I had 4 on the Corvette done last Christmas - -was about $160 total when buying a $1000 set of tires.
