FixChevrolet Silverado 1500 — TPMS Sensor Replacement Cost
What owners actually paid
The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $130 – $966. A quote inside that band is normal. Cheaper or pricier isn't automatically wrong — but it's worth asking why.
Real repair reports
These reports are a recent sample of real, paid Chevrolet Silverado 1500 TPMS sensor replacement visits — quoted the way the owner and the technician actually said it.
Car owners said
“Install 1 tp sensor - lf?”
“Left rear tpms replacement”
“Tpms sensor front passenger side.”
“Install tpm sensor and program”
What the technician found
“Remove tire from wheel and repair tire with sensor”
“Remove tire from vehicle,check for leaks,dismount tire,patch and reinstall installed new sensor on d/s rear tire and programmed filled tires to 35 psi”
What this repair is
Each wheel carries a battery-powered sensor that reports tire pressure to the dash. The batteries are sealed and die after roughly 5–10 years, so sensors often fail one after another. Replacement means dismounting the tire, fitting the sensor, and teaching the car to recognize it — the relearn step is why this isn't just a parts price.
Is your quote fair?
If your quote lands between $130 and $966, it's inside the range where half of all real Chevrolet Silverado 1500 repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 1 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
