Before you do anything, the first step you want to take is to look at the rims of the vehicle being serviced and decipher if they are original rims or aftermarket rims. If they are original rims, you should first remove the currently installed sensor and find out your options. It is best to get pricing options for OE sensors, OE replacement sensors(OER)and programmable sensors from your distributor. You can then give your customer those options and also take that time to understand their desired stem type. If the vehicle has the appropriate speed rating and resides in a colder region, it is always best practice to suggest a rubber snap-in stem to protect against corrosion caused by harsh temperatures and rock salt. Some OE sensors do not fit a rubber stem but many do as more OE suppliers are starting to switch over to rubber. If the customer prefers the aesthetics of an aluminum clamp-in valve, then you'll know this before making a change.
