    So I'm a tight cnut who doesn't like paying to put air in my tyres, and Bennets in Roxboro was the last place I knew in Limerick where a chap could do so.

    No more. :(

    Any of you know of any other olde worlde garages that still offer free air? (possibly requiring a returnable euro coin to release the security chain)

    50c for 4 minutes now. Probably still the best value on that side of Limerick.

    Apple Green Coonagh. Still free. I assure you as I've one of those 4 week slow punctures that no garage can find too cheap to pay for air on such a 12 month frequency. Heck that's €24 per annum. Nah.

    Once had no choice to put air in a tyre to also used the vacuum. Value for money eh

    We had a dodgy pressure reading at the petrol station in Monaleen, screen kept showing an error so we had to pay twice before it started working. Hoovered the entire car to make the most of our euro.

    Haven't been back since aside from the bottle bank.

    Not anymore. They have new machine and requires a coin!
