TPMS issues

Ok, after another visit to the dealer, I got my aligment done, not good but ...Well, also I had the TPMS light on, after trying to restart the system maybe 100 times, still on. Back to the dealer they check each sensor individualy. Next they plug another system, maybe Star and the serial number of each sensor show on the menu. I let the dealer with the TPMS light off but after 10 min driving light came on again. I know is not a big deal, because I always ck the pressure manually but that dam light on on the dashboard is anoying...Any one suffer the same thing or some help pinpointing this? Look like all sensors are working fine.

Well, I have another appointment tomorow but so far their job was great. Last time I went I was out in less than an hour. Tomorow is a different case so I need to drop the car. I have a friend that he does some outside job for them(subcontracting jobs) and he told me that they are the best in the area...Not so many choices we got but!!! So fa, so good. Other thing that I found is that people complaing about expensive, well I can tell that the rear break pads for the mercedes are cheaper than for my Lincoln SUV. One thing that I was looking is to do some wheel aligment but guess what? There is only one aligment machine capable of do that for mercedes. Is a Hunter MB and like I said is specific for mercedes so we don"t have another choice. So far I trust in them.

thats an awesome review. I contacted last week about checking my vin for any recall that needa to be done and at first I thought I was speaking to an automated machine bc this womans voice was so computer like. anyways, my appointment is on friday for an oil change and scanning my airmatic since a malfunction is constantly reappearing after 15-20 mins of driving. thanks again for answering my questions.
