Damage to a Rented Car

He rented a car on Friday afternoon from a Haredi company in Kfar Saba, and when he arrived in Bnei Brak, he noticed that he had a flat tire. He called the lessor, who told him to go to a specific garage. The garage owner fixed the flat and said that the sensor in the wheel was also broken, claiming it happened because he drove with no air in the tire. Later, the renter asked a more reliable mechanic if the sensor could break from such a thing, and he said it was impossible, and likely the sensor broke when the mechanic fixed the flat. Does the renter have to pay for what the garage owner broke?
