That's why I tell people to go to Town Fair. They don't do car repairs so the won't try to sell you anything that's not related to tires or alignment.
Most of the big tire merchants do repairs so they will try to sell you something else.
As for tire sensors, they may not rust but they are aluminum and they do corrode and break.
