Introducing Quik-Chek! – Tyre Pressure Monitor

Quik-Chek is a simple, inexpensive way for motorists to monitor their vehicle’s tyre inflation. Proper tyre inflation is critical to a vehicle’s performance and safety, yet a lot of people pay little or no attention to it. According to one Quik-Chek distributor, many professional service providers don’t consistently perform this important maintenance/safety check unless a consumer specifically requests it. All users have to do is replace their valve stem cap with a Quik-Chek and leave it there. From that point forward, all you have to do is Press ‘n Check to gain an instantaneous reading that lets you know if your tyres are properly inflated.
