The Tire Industry Association and Tiremetrix have launched a new, enhanced version of the Tiremetrix TPMS management software TPMS Manager. The new product, TMPS Manager Powered by TIA, features new content focused on TPMS training and TPMS service tips for passenger and light truck tire service technicians.
"TPMS Manager has the most comprehensive TPMS data in the industry, and combined with the TIA service information, we now have the most extensive information resource related to servicing, training and troubleshooting TPMS,” said Joe Donehue, president of Tiremetrix. “It is a valuable resource for any company that services TPMS-equipped vehicles. The easy-to use-interface allows a tire shop to navigate the process of selling and servicing TPMS.”
One of the biggest enhancements to the product is a special set of TIA "Tech Tips," exclusive to TPMS Manager-Powered by TIA. These tips provide quick access to the solutions for difficult TPMS problems a technician might encounter. Since TIA also has an extensive video library of TPMS information including relearn summaries, a lot of the footage can be linked to particular makes and models. In many instances, technicians will be able to read the written step-by-step relearn procedures or watch the video.
"It's difficult to keep up with the changes that accompany each new model year from an industry training standpoint, so the partnership with Tiremetrix gives us a platform that we can continually update in between programs," remarked Kevin Rohlwing, senior vice president of training for TIA. "By combining the Tiremetrix database with TIA's training and technical support, tire service providers will have access to a complete training and troubleshooting resource that keeps pace with the changes in technology."
TPMS Manager-Powered by TIA is available to tire retailers as a monthly or annual subscription. A location license is $39.95 a month for TIA members. Monthly subscriptions for non-TIA members are $59 per month.
TIA members may request a limited free trial by contacting Chris Marnett, TIA training director, at 301-430-7280 x106 or
