Frequently asked questions
How to use an air pump to inflate tires?
- First, remove the valve cap from the tire you wish to inflate and check the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle, typically found in the owner's manual or on a placard inside the driver's side door.
- Next, securely attach the air hose to the valve stem.
- If the compressor allows, set the desired tire pressure.
- Press the inflation trigger and keep an eye on the pressure gauge.
- Add air in short bursts, checking the pressure intermittently to avoid overinflation.
- Once you've reached the desired pressure, remove the hose, replace the valve cap.
- Usually there are specific instructions provided by the gas station regarding the use of the air pump.
What is recommended air pressure for tires?
The recommended air pressure for car tires varies for each vehicle, with most falling within the range of 28 to 36 PSI (pounds per square inch).
You can use our Tire Pressure Calculator to find recommended pressure for your tires.
The air pressure for your cars' tires is set by the manufacturer. You can find this information in your car's operator manual or on a sticker located on the inside of the driver's door post.
What gas stations have free air?
You can find free air pumps at these gas stations:
- QuickTrip Store
- Casey's
- Sheetz
- Wawa
- Kum and Go
- Mobil
- Phillips
- Chevron
- Conoco
- Shell

Should I check my tire pressure hot or cold?
Are all gas stations required to provide free air pump?
By law, all Connecticut-licensed gasoline retailers are required to offer the public a free air compressor for tire inflation during their operating hours.
In California, complimentary air is legally provided, but only for customers making a purchase.
For others, refer to the map to find nearby locations offering free tire inflation. Save on costs, conserve gas, and ensure your tires are properly filled, all without spending a dime!
How often should I check and inflate my tires?
