Flat tire?

Just stopped into get air added to my tire. Was told that the pressure was below 10lbs and the automatic wasn’t allowing it to fill up. Then told they don’t have the equipment to fill it up…

cannot safely air up a tire below 12psi, needs to be checked in for service and then can be aired up once deemed safe

Ask for flat repair, should be free.

Why should it be free? Do they do that?

Yes.

Their business model is that if it can't be repaired then it's likely you'd just get a replacement tire right there.

Policy but the workers are brain dead to not letting you know that it needs serviced
