I paid $2.00 to $2.50. Make sure you carry a tire gauge. I figure it as a maintenance fund for my tires and their equipment. The free gauges I tried had issues.

I’m pretty sure Wildwood Tire would ck and add air if needed, they have always been very helpful . One would think that if we now pump our own gas , we can add our own air if needed, with electronics they can control the compressor to shut off when the station is closed. Just a mater of customer service, not sure they teach that in school anymore.

I have a small rechargeable air pump (not as big as a D cell flashlight) that recharges via USB and is good for cars and golf carts. Got on amazon for about $30. You can set the PSI (up to 50) and it will shut off when that pressure is reached. I find this much easier than worrying about finding a gas station with an air pump - free or not.

I also carry an air pump in the car that plugs into a power outlet That way I always have air available. I've used this one when I've had a flat tire (with not too bat a leak) and would top it off, drive a ways, top it off, drive a ways, etc. until I could get to a good location to change the tire or get it repaired.

IMO any vehicle owner should have way of topping off tires. If they don’t that tells me they don’t check tire pressure like they are supposed to.

That has come up before. Easy solution, buy a valve stem extender. A set of four are like $4.00. I would not leave them on. I expect on a car it would effect the tire balance.
Perhaps not the reason for it but my bicycle pump has a hole up near the handle, perhaps for a ball needle into which I store my valve extender.

Give them a call first to make sure that they still offer tire air.

Every WAWA I have been to has free air.

[New Englander]

What does WaWa charge at their air pump?

Wawa has free air. The one on 441 is located just south of Walmart.
