標題: Gas station with FREE tire inflation in Metro Vancouver [打印本頁]

I can't find any free tire inflation site recently. I don't want to pay a buck for it.

Would LYK provide information if you know, I think it will help all LYK.

I bought a mini-pump from US for like $5 during boxing week. It runs off the 12v cig lighter socket with a very long cord. Pumping a deflated tire from 10psi to 34psi takes about 10 min.

I think it is better than paying for it.

So you have to park the car outside when inflating the tire.

Any link? So cheap? $5?

I don't see that anymore .. and .. yeah .. $1 x 2 ( or 3 ) to top up the air .. no good ..

But I think most cars now come with the mini pump in the trunk anyway??

你架咩嘢車咁勁跟一個pump? 一定是高檔車o

did you have the engine running? if not, try it next time, that should speed up a lot.
at least that's how my pump behaves with my 06 civic

$1 for couple or minutes.

Some gas station if you fill up the gas there and ask them nicely, some of those will just turn it on for you to use for free!

你always有新車當然無此經驗。當車舊了久不久都要加氣。

作者: 嘉嘉 時間: 2012-2-25 22:58

LOL............

I have only driven 2 vehicle before.....wouldn't have my 2nd one if first one wasn't total loss
and fyi, I have nail in my tire around every 2-3 months so I need to pump it sometimes too before I can have the tire fixed....

(1) No.3 & Williams 間 Petrocanada 入油免費bump 氣 (估好多Petrocanada 都應該係...啩....)
(2) 上面個師兄講，mini pump 幾好喎，值得買個....

Granville 夾 Buswell Petrocanada 不是。

My mini pump is from Target, it was during boxing week sale so I got it at discounted price $5. Yes, the engine is running during the inflation.

Compare to the ones used by the guys at Autocross, mine is like a toy... but good for emergency use. There are many uses for the pump, like inflating the air matress during camping..

isn't true ALL gas stations in Richmond are full service only AND they are suppose to check the tire pressure for you as part of their service?

作者: blue20ae 時間: 2012-2-26 09:24

It is worth to have a compressor on hand, even if it is a cheapo. You may want to watch out for Canadian Tire special.

More than once, I used compressor to fill up a slow leaking tire at home, rather than replace it with the spare, before driving to tire shop for repair.

想自己慢慢搞，不想阻住其他人入油。

作者: satil 時間: 2012-2-26 11:32

No2 and Westminster Chevron (south west corner of the station)
