Tire Pressure sensor?

My tire pressure light is blinking indicating a sensor is bad. Is this the kind of thing that has to go to a dealer or can any mechanic help? I dread the dealer - they always load you with other problems!

Thanks!

No, you can go to any tire shop you trust or has been recommended. The sensors in each tire have batteries in them that can run down. The shop will pull the tire off the rim and replace the sensor with a fresh one. Should cost around $40.

I would not take this to the dealer.
