I have just spent the last 20 minutes trying to trying to get air for my tyres. I went to three service stations. The first one had an electronic pump but it was broken and had an out of order sign on it. The second one had the same type of electronic one where you type in the pressure you want and it filles the tyre, however none of the buttons worked and it would only fill the tyre to 29psi. The third one I went to the entire hose was missing and they hadnt bothered to replace it. You would think Shell, BP and Caltex could afford to maintain equipment that contributes to road safety.

Yeh, that's why I have a compressor and good accurate gauge in my garage at home, the ones in the servo's are crap and are usually out anyway.
