    Any places offer free air for tires?

    I now have a very slow leak to tend to, and so far I've only hit 76, they charge 1.00 which is bs. back home we have a wonderful place called wawa, and wawa gas stations offered free air. such a place in Portland area?

      Get a decent Foot Pump for less than twenty dollars, it only takes about a minute to bring up each tire, longer if it's flat.
      You can do it anywhere anytime ever after, instead of driving around looking for free air pump.

          lol.


          I've found the same though. Hit up several local gas stations (like... to get gas) and then notice whether or not they charge for air. I haven't found a consistent brand/location/etc that will have free air. But I do know of a select few in my area to go to.

            Les Schwab and Discount tires will fix flats for free, so I'd venture that air would be free too.

                  This is the price we all pay for demanding the lowest cost rather than the best service. I hate it, I think it sucks, yet I fall into the same trap and demand those low prices.

                    This has worked 2 out of 3 times for me. Pull up to the gas station, just walk in and ask the attendant to turn on the air. Usually they don't give a crap and just turn it on for you from the inside. :) worth trying a few near by gas stations if the first one fails.

                      If one dollar is stopping you from putting air in your tires, you got bigger problems.

                        i dont know about washington but in california it is the law that if you buy gas they have to provide free air and water. just ask the attendant.

                            I run a shell. Just buy some gas and ask for air. if the gas attendant seems chill (aka normal fucking person) just ask them to turn it on and they will. we always hook up free air. its just ...air. haha
