Yes, unfortunately not true. By law I have to check and adjust tire pressures at no cost for every car that rolls into the shop.

Pretty much on average it costs me $100 per hour per guy for my employees/overhead, and I'm forced to pay them to air up your tires for free. Add that up for the month...
