The owner of a car doing their own work can do what they want

There is this Federal law going back to 1966 that makes DISABLING a safety system a crime.

Car comes in with bad sensors, customer refuses to repair, not my issue but I put it on the work order and make the owner initial it.

You come in with aftermarket wheels and want them installed, the TPMS are working on the existing wheels, I have to make sure the new wheels have functioning TPMS sensors when it goes out the door.

The applicable law is the make inoperative’ prohibition of 49 USC 30122(b)

There are too many lawyers out there looking to sue anyone for any reason to have me risk everything i own as a "favor" to someone that will throw me under the bus at the first chance of getting a judgement in court against me

Very few owners of cars are changing their own tires.

Like it or not, removing them is super common in the north east. And, a functional TPMS is not a requirement on the state inspection list.
