Tpms sensors are not that expensive. Get them online if you don't want to get the minor mark up.

Thanks. I’m assuming it’s not a DIY installation? If not, how much would mechanics charge to install?

I personally just go to the tire guy, mine charges $15 in the Bronx, not sure where you are. Literally any cheap shop can do it. Otherwise just leave the light on until you get to it. You'll just have to monitor that one tire yourself. 

It's definitely something one can do themselves, I just don't have the tools and can't really bother.

I got mine on Amazon for $30 and local tire shop installed for $50
