Free air
 
Anyone know of a gas station in or close to TV that offers free air to top off car tires?

Two Bills 08-21-2021 01:43 PM

Please say you are kidding?

Neils 08-21-2021 01:54 PM

Lol. Bet you thought this was another mask/no mask thread

Just purchase a portable air compressor for less than $35 plugs into an aux outlet car (cigarette lighter) home depot or lowes. Works on golf carts too.

That was my first thought also. There's 'penny-pinching' - then there's "PENNY-PINCHING." Unless air is really special down there, I've never seen where it costs more than a few quarters to use a public air compressor. lol

Wawa in Oxford on 301 had free air the last time I stopped for gas.

Neils 08-21-2021 02:02 PM

Need the pennies to check tire tread depth.

“Up there” might be couple quarters. Here in civilization, most have installed the automated machines that charge $2.50 and still might not work correctly.

It’s amazing what you use to get for 35 cent gallon while you set in you’re car. Let’s see, meant with smile and can I help you, pumped gas, checked oil, cleaned windshield, and checked tire pressure if requested. All for employees making 1.25 hours at best. Not 1965 for sure. Who said the good old days was good?:shocked:

Maybe the guy wanting a decent bar in TV will put in free air in his new bar.

And it'll cost a buck and a half in gasoline to get there and back...

Fanfaron2020 08-22-2021 05:24 AM

Map of places that provide free air for tires: Free air near me

P.S. Just a suggestion: Learn to Google (i.e., free air for tires in The Villages, FL)

Predictable.

It's best to specify where in The villages you live since there are several different places there is a Wawa on 301 in Wildwood as well as a Wawa on route 27 in Leesburg that said the gasket cost you to get to either of them is going to be just as much as a local place that might be much closer to you. By the way you should check your tires in your driveway before you drive anywhere as the heat and the drive can make your pressure go up two or three pounds, and also if you're constantly losing air pressure it's time for new tires

La lamy 08-22-2021 06:05 AM

I like (need) to save my pennies too, so I was thrilled to learn you can use a bicycle pump to fill car tires!!! Mind blowing right? You'd think it'd be impossible, but no, very easy if you still have some arm power.

Firestone on 466 just before 301. They offer free tire service. No charge for air. Pull up to first bay. Go inside tell them what you need. They take of you immediately.

We had a car that was constantly losing air. Turned out the alloy wheels had pinhole rust spots in them letting the air out. Tires were fine. Replaced the wheels. Problem went away.
