Just curious guys, as where i live its usually a pound at all petrol stations i go to, what`s making me ask is, i went and got some alloy wheels off someone near manchester, and they were a bit flat, so on the way home i pulled into a petrol station to blow em up so i was seeing what change i had in my pockets, and thought what the fook, FREE air, what the!!!, fook me, couldn't believe it, as i passed another garage i pulled in there to have a look, and free air again...

Most places round my way charge for air. I've found the water tap normally works without money but comes out pretty slow

Yeah we have to pay in Surrey and Hants. I don't use them if I can help it as I believe they contain a lot of water and the pressure reading is not accurate at all.

Garage I use is free air, and water. Buy bulbs and wipers they will fit for free. They are however the busiest garage in the town, always stacked out for work!
