Default Mounting new tires on 2007 tC and transferring sensors

I am buying my own tires online and having the local Gateway Tire mount them.

Do I need to give them any special documentation to make sure they install the tire pressure sensors correctly or should they know how to do this already?

every tC should have a decal with proper tire psi on the inside of the drivers door sill.

I'm talking about transferring the sensors that are included on the '07 and '08 models so I can get the accurate warning inside the car when the pressure is wrong. These are actual sensor devices that must be transferred.

Most reputable shops are aware of the new TPMS's .... but if you have a concern, just give them a ring before you go down to their shop and ask them if their techs have been trained how to handle the sensors.
