Short answer
The tire-pressure number to use is on the vehicle placard or owner manual, not the tire sidewall. Check tires cold with a gauge, inspect tread and sidewalls, and do not ignore a TPMS light that returns after inflation because leaks, valve stems, sensors, or tire damage may be involved.
Why this matters
This shop-floor answer helps drivers understand the repair conversation before calling, towing, or approving diagnostic work.

Does this page replace an in-shop diagnosis?
No. It explains how Front Line Auto thinks through the repair question, but the actual repair path depends on the vehicle, symptoms, scan data, inspection, and testing.
Will Front Line Auto quote repairs before starting work?
Yes. The shop quotes diagnostic work first when needed, then explains the repair findings and gets customer approval before repair work starts.
