Get Free Tire Air at Local Shops and Save Money

**Tips for Free and Accurate Tire Air Filling**

- Visit your local tire shop, dealership, or service center for free air refills. They often have better gauges and will ensure your tires are at the correct pressure, even resetting warning lights if needed.
- Many shops inspect your tires during the process and may recommend additional services or new tires—it's part of their customer care and marketing strategy.
- It’s customary and appreciated to tip a couple of bucks if you receive good service; you can also support them by leaving a positive review with their name.
- Be aware that gas station air pumps can be inaccurate due to poor calibration, and some places might charge for air; in most states, charging for air is illegal.
- Carrying a portable air compressor or a personal tire gauge can be more convenient, especially in remote areas or for quick checks.
- In Australia, many petrol stations offer free air, and in India and Canada, free air at petrol pumps is common—though some locations now charge a small fee to maintain equipment.
- For peace of mind and savings, learning to check your tire pressure yourself with a personal gauge is a good practice.
- Remember, proper tire maintenance can prevent issues and improve safety—take advantage of free services and tools available to keep your tires in top shape.
