Has anyone been charged for the RAC servicing your TPMS,which is your “tyre pressure monitoring system”
I was charged £50 for this service and when having my tyres fitted I was told by the fitter that there was no such service as the system is just a sealed sensor and it’s not serviceable
I have tried getting a refund and I am still waiting after a week !!!
never thought some one as big as the RAC would result to ripping their customers off like this

Generally, as far as I am aware, most TPMs work off the ABS rings. Wheel rotation should be the same across an axle, and the TPM responds to any difference. I have asked among different friends in the industry, and they say there is no 'servicing' on a TPM unless a unit is damaged.

Some do, but others (maybe most?) have sensors built into the tyre valves.

I'm with the others. There's nothing to service, it either works or it doesn't.
The only reference I can find for servicing is that the garage will check if the system is working correctly. But if it's not working properly you will already had a dashboard light telling you this, so it's really more of a wallet flushing service.
Ask the RAC exactly what a 'service' entails and why they think you needed it.

Still waiting for a refund. It’s been since the 8 th September and they have not even bothered to reply to my request just someone saying they are looking into it. I am still amazed that they can scam you out of money with something that does not exist. Just blown away it’s the RAC bet the AA don’t pull this sort of stunt for money
