The Best TPMS Sensor for Reliability: Why Shops Trust the Simmings One Direct TPMS Sensor
Why the Simmings One Direct TPMS Sensor Is Becoming a Shop Favorite
If your shop works with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), you already understand the importance of choosing sensors that are accurate, durable, and cost-effective. Low-quality or unreliable TPMS sensors can lead to comebacks, frustrated customers, and extra time spent diagnosing preventable issues. Choosing the right TPMS solution is essential, especially in regions with harsh climates or shops that service a high volume of vehicles.
At MT-RSR, we provide some of the most dependable and affordable TPMS sensors and programming tools on the market. Many shops quickly realize they’ve been overpaying for sensors after comparing their current prices to the options available through our TPMS Sensor Collection.
What Sets the Simmings One Direct Sensor Apart
Most universal TPMS sensors claim to be reliable, but the Simmings One Direct TPMS Sensor stands out, particularly in demanding environments. Its fully epoxied interior gives it a significant advantage over traditional TPMS designs. Water intrusion is one of the leading causes of TPMS failure, especially in colder states where temperatures fluctuate drastically.
If you operate in a region like Minnesota, you’ve likely seen customers arrive with their TPMS warning light on after a cold morning. By the time the vehicle warms up, the light may turn off, leading to confusion and unnecessary service visits. This occurs because moisture has entered the sensor and reacts to temperature changes.
The epoxy-filled housing of the Simmings One Direct prevents the internal electronics from being exposed to moisture, eliminating this issue entirely. Its sealed design makes it ideal for cold climates, fleets, and busy service centers that need sensors built for long-term reliability.
Compatible With More Than 25 Programming Tools
Another major advantage of the Simmings One Direct is its broad compatibility. These sensors work with more than 25 TPMS programming tools, including popular systems such as Snap-on, Matco, and ATEQ (including the VT47, VT48, VT56, and similar models). This allows technicians to program, clone, and install sensors quickly without needing a large variety of sensor SKUs.
For shops needing a new programming tool, MT-RSR also offers tool-and-sensor bundles, allowing many customers to acquire a new TPMS tool at little to no additional cost when purchasing sensors in bulk.
