How much should I expect to pay for inspection and replacement. I do not know how many of the Tire Pressure sensors I need to replace. I have a 2007 camry XLE 6-cyl (Never replaced any TPMS). The TPMS light blinks for a few seconds (approx 30 s), then turns solid. I read here that I probably need a new TPMS sensor. I can buy one from Amazon for ~$35.

No clue what a dealer would charge, ask them?
I bought my own sensor for a Highlander (Camry may need different sensor part number?)
And then used Techstream to program it myself.
You can also call local tires shops and ask what they would charge if you provided the correct sensor.

From my own experience, I would not recommend you buy one online. They may be much less expensive that way but you will still have to have it programmed to your vehicle, and unless you have the equipment to do it, (NOT cheap by any means) you will have to pay a shop to do this for you. I believe you would be much better off following funman1's advice and checking local tire shops, it may cost more for the part but the labor charges to have one that you bought installed could be more for the simple reason the shop is not making any money on the part.
makes sense. I should just negotiate a price with a tire shop, for parts and labor. Will post here how much i got it repaired for. I see there's no easy method to do it yourself.
When a sensor goes bad, it's best to replace all of them. You would then have a shop install the sensor.
As for programming, you can do that yourself with a copy of Toyota Techstream available online or have the shop do it. Toyota dealers are almost always competitive for their tire labor and programming. If you don't want to buy Techstream, I would buy the OEM Denso sensors online (Rockauto) and have the dealer program them. Since it's the same sensor as OEM, they should have no issues.
