Default finally got my car back from bodyshop after 1.5 months

many of you may remember I got into an accident middle of last December, side impacted accident. well i finally got the car back this morning. it looks like it never been to an accident but i'm sure experts know right away when inspect the car thoroughly. anyways, they had to recondition one of my F-Sport wheels, now my TPMS light is back. I just had them reprogrammed prior the accident after I got these wheels. anyone knows what caused the sensor light come back? the tires are all fully inflated to standards. could it be they put it back wrong? i really hate to think they removed the sensor and never put it back. i'm stuck at work today and guess i have to find out on Monday. anyways, i'm glad i got the car back and oh boy do i ever miss that F-Sport exhaust and intake sound.

when i put IS wheels on my SC the guy at the shop tightened the little nut or something on the sensor too much and put a small crack in it, thus it leaked a little bit of air, had to get a new sensor. It could be he just forgot to put it in or it is now dead. I would have them un mount and see if the sensor is there and take it from there. You might need one of the little tire pressure sensor rebuild kits which are really cheap on ebay or a new sensor...I actually have two of them I bought somewhere hit me up before you buy from sewell maybe we can work something out if it turns out you need one man!

If they were paid by the insurance company to return the car to pre-accident condition, that would include all sensors...including the TPMS. Take it back once you have the time.
