Tire sensor alarm just before RMV license road test
Our family just wanted to thank Mauro and the DiBacco’s team who bailed us out big time recently on short notice on the eve of the long holiday (Labor Day) weekend. They saved the day!
While out driving/practicing on Thursday (9-29-24) the afternoon prior to my sons RMV license road test - a tire sensor alarm condition occurred. This was especially concerning because the RMV road test examiner will cancel the license appointment if *any* alarm condition is present on the vehicle to be used for the test. We had to address this immediately.
As this alarm can be triggered when tire pressure gets too low we drove to a local repair station - checked the air pressure in all the tires - and found one tire that was especially low. After adding a few lbs of air the tire sensor alarm shut off and we went back to practicing for the license road test.
Then after driving another ~20 miles the tire sensor alarm condition occurred AGAIN and it was now after 6pm…too late in the day to bring the car anywhere for diagnosis.
Thinking about who could possibly assist us on short notice - I reached out to Mauro DiBacco because he’d done a superb job for us on an engine repair (same vehicle) last November and had also replaced a defective tire sensor at that time.
Mauro responded immediately and diagnosed the likely root cause of the problem based on the “steady” at all times (versus flashing) alarm condition…which suggested a low tire (not a defective tire sensor) being the issue.
Knowing that my sons RMV license road test appointment was at 1pm the following day in Wilmington - Mauro and team accommodated us with an 8am drop off appointment on Friday morning.
Maybe an hour after drop off - DiBacco’s called to advise the car was ready for pickup. They’d found a leak/hole in one of the tires - plugged it to resolve the problem and tire sensor alarm condition was cleared for good!
Thanks to DiBacco’s quick response - expert diagnosis - and accommodating us on such short notice - my son was able to keep his appointment with the RMV and he passed his license road test 👍.
The DiBacco’s team took good care of us as a valued customer and we are so grateful 😁.

Thank your for the review Mike! We appreciate your continued support, and congratulations on your son passing his road test. He knows where to take his car if he needs anything. (:
