If you are handy, you can order a sensor (sized for your vehicle) on Amazon.com
much cheaper and save a bundle installing them yourself. My vehicle has a sensor in the spare as well, so if you want to install a whole new set of sensors in your vehicle don't forget to check your spare to see if it has a sensor. Make sure you have your vehicle manual or look the info up online, you may have to 'introduce' the new sensors. It does not seem difficult, you just have to know how to do it.
It is possible that swapping all of them out at one time might be good. Unless the sensor was deficient or damaged, if it went out after around 5-7 years it is most likely the battery. If one battery runs out, the others may not be far behind.
There are HUGE differences in quotes for the job depending where it is done so shop around if you don't want to do it yourself. Many quotes are significantly lower per sensor if you get them all done at one time.
