| Gas Stations that offer free air in Vancouver?
It looks like all my go to gas stations stop offering free air. Do any of you know of any locations in Vancouver that still offer free air?

I go to the ones that charge for air. Then I walk inside. I proceed to tell them to turn on the air please. I fill up my tires.

Yea chevron. Also, they offer free water. I think it's for coolant.

Sometimes I just roll into the lane connecting to full serve and just use the air they have there.

As others have said, most Chevrons still provide free air/water. To keep something this simple free to your customers and car lovers is one of the main reasons Chevron always gets my business.  | |

Pretty much all of them can and will turn on the air for free, you just have to go inside and ask. So quit your whining, get off your lazy ass, walk inside the store and ASK THEM TO TURN ON THE AIR.

I've never once had someone not turn on the air for free, even if I'm just cruising buy on my bmx and don't buy anything.

Since then I never asked anyone else since it was assumed I would get the same answer everywhere else.
That was a year ago... maybe things have changed since then?

Now that I mention it, if your ever in Point Roberts getting gas, the nice people at USA GAS and Texaco will turn on the air for you if you ask nicely.

Yes, the god damn "ass of u and me" lines never seems to fail us in life.

Pfft... just use the 30 gallon compressor in your garage, pull a line out to the driveway and pump up your own air.
What? You don't have a compressor set up in your garage like everyone else? For shame...

+1 for just going inside and asking.
The 50 cents or whatever is mostly just to stop people from messing around with/abusing it.
Chevron on 41st and Main has "free" air for sure though.

Charging for air is a scam. There is a company in B.C. that goes to all the gas station telling them that running air costs a lot of money and that they will install a air system for free and will split the money they make. Once the system is installed they get the store to donate there profits to charity. The company takes all the money but who knows if they give any to charity. Our gas station has been open for 22 years and have never charged for air and never will. Our cost has been around $1500 that includes 3 air compressors. Customers should not have to pay for air.
