If it's replacing the O-rings, $15.00 per wheel is a little steep (although replacing the seals any time the tire is broken down is a good idea as a preventive maintenance item).
If it's truly rebuilding the tpm, it's too cheap. Replacing the battery is relatively time consuming and the battery itself is probably a $3.00 part.
This has all the earmarks of being one of those places that offer blinker fluid and muffler bearing repair.
