anyone past infancy knows that in our modern world, everything (and everyone, the more jaded and…read morecynical among us will insist) has a price. and as we all know, prices never go down. but there are certain things actually given out at no cost. like water at a public fountain. or, getting down to the dozen as they say, compressed air for your tires. (there's other free stuff surely. but at the moment i can't think of what they might be and... well, i really think you'd be better to prepare the list yourself, and if you would please send me that list) i'm bothered by this compressed air thing. perhaps after this you will be, too. remember a time when the service station guy came out to your car, tipped his cap, how-do ma'am, fill 'er up? ok ok maybe that's not exactly how it went, i did say longago right? anyway, however little or much "service" really happened, there were essentials available to you to assure your car was road worthy, insofar as water in radiators and air in tires. the air was supplied from a compressor inside which was on most of the time during the day. service work was done using this same compressed air to power various tools, repair motors, transmissions and other gizmos. so it cost the station very little indeed to pipe some of it outside for customer use. all well and good, except that today most "service stations" simply sell gas, oil and lottery tickets. the mechanic who could fix anything on wheels has retired. without him there's no repair work being done, and most stations don't need compressed air. i go through this now because it so happened that until recently a rear tire on my car had a slow leak. reassuring to me that not all technology is suspect, I knew this immediately, not by the car's operation but by an idiot light on the console. because i always delay solving a problem hoping "maybe it will go away", i kept looking at that light for a few weeks. finally i consulted the user manual and began to think about fixing the problem for a few more weeks. one day after buying at least $50 worth of gas at this kwik station i decided it was time to address my tire issue. that's when i learned the sad truth. compressed air for your tires has a price today: as with lunch, it's no longer free. i learned this as i picked up the air hose. in the good old days, hoses for air and radiator water were hung up out of the way (pictured). today this as well as most other service stations around here provide air from a compressor housed in a sturdy metal box. the box also includes a slot to insert coins, or the more convenient use of your credit card. the going rate today seems to be about $2.50 for which the pump runs for a few minutes. i was annoyed but, like most of us, having been beaten down by the system i meekly inserted the coins to pay for the air. air is supplied from the compressor to the tire through a regulator, gauge and finally a short rubber hose designed to fit the tire valve. but when i tried to put air in the tire, i noticed that this short hose was broken so my $2.50 air simply went back into the atmosphere instead of into the tire. after a few minutes of fiddling around i quit trying to fix the device, which was fine because my time expired and the compressor went silent. this surely was reason enough for reimbursement except that the clerk inside informed me that the air system was supplied by another company, air-serv by name. he could do nothing to fix the problem. so there was no air, no money back, and it was nobody's fault but mine. (this last, being the story of my life, is something i know only too well) but the story doesn't end there. government wheels may turn slowly, but in the end we're all the better for it, surely. California's Business and Professions Code Section 13651 mandates that as of january 1, 2000 service stations provide free air, water, and a pressure gauge to customers who purchase fuel. furthermore, service stations must display a clearly visible sign stating that California law requires them to provide free air and water to customers who purchase fuel. finally this: if a gas station charges for air or water after a fuel purchase, or if the equipment is unavailable or inoperable, you can file a complaint with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). i filed such a complaint with the state on this station because: i bought gas and then paid for air as well because i failed to read the sign informing me otherwise. (ok ok i hear you talking, it's my fault: i never read these f'n signs anyway.) but having paid for air i didn't receive it because the machine was inoperable. and the attendant was neither helpful regarding a refund nor able to fix the problem with the machine. so i'm waiting to hear from sacramento any day now, resolving the problem. but i won't wait forever: not one day later than after my first ride from San Francisco to LA on the california bullet train.

I was more content with the result after that second pass, and I appreciate that they were willing to fix it. That said, the pricing already starts on the higher side, and I've been to other car wash places where you don't have to ask or remind them to do the level of work you paid for. Overall, the experience was okay in the end, but it shouldn't require a follow-up to get the service that was promised.
