Air tyre machines at petrol stations - what do they charge?

The attendant told me it was INFLATION.

Would also buy one of these to be the most accurate when checking tyre pressure.

Sainsburys was free, not anymore

Sainsburys 20p tesco is 30p or 50p don't remember and some places £1 or £2

Obviously supply chain issues caused by Brexit, Covid and Ukraine have had an affect on air prices...

Just get one of these @ £12.64

amazon.co.uk/dp/…K6SPay for itself after 25 trips to pump up your tyres at Morrisons. (edited)

They’ll start charging for water next assuming they don’t already.

If they could can and resell a fart - they would

Sainsburys used to be free but haven't used it for some time

I purchased a inflator to use at home years ago after most places went pay :-(
Only thing I would say though is that many of the gauges show more pressure than they actually are so might also be worth investing in a digital gauge to check the pressures too.

I wouldn't mind paying 10 or 20p each time if say half the money was going to charity then at least you would know your helping..... but hey thats never going to happen

£1 for 5 minutes when I used one at my nearest Petrol Station this morning

Thanks for all the above replies, has given me some idea

Tyre pressure being more than 10% under or over increases chances of an accident and can *kill you* because it affects braking, steering and handling in a bad way - and even more so if vs another tyre on the same axle.

First thing traffic cops do after a serious accident is check tyre pressure of the bandit vehicle/s - and if one or more is over 10% out driver is that vehicle is in the frame regardless of who made a mistake first.

Big chain petrol stations get their air gauges checked regularly, so I always go there. Not so sure about smaller garages esp with obviously poorly maintained and tatty air equipment - and of course gauges you buy are never tested and can be wildly inaccurate, and only marginally better than simply looking at tyres.

If you value your life and of course that of others make sure all tyres are at correct pressure including the spare!

Used morrisons tyre inflater today and it said 50p but my bank says its going to be £1
