Went to enterprise and rented a car that had literally 4 leaking tires and they filled them all up to 55 psi before handing the car over. This photo was taken after the 30 minute drive home.

Called and took the car back in for service only to get the same car, same 55 psi on all wheels, and same major leak in the rears. Went to another enterprise location to get a normal car instead 2 days later. Really took me back to my first car, but it’s a lot less fun when it’s not even yours and the “fix” is just dangerous overpressure.

    Could also just be the rim being kind of dirty and corroded and needs to be cleaned up a bit of bead sealant.

    I’ve had it happen to me a couple times, tires just always lost air sort slowly, I never cared enough to bring it in just for that, not a big deal to stop by the air pump once a week or so when I was getting gas anyway.

    I’m sure if you brought your car in just for that they’d probably slap some token $10-50 price on it.

    But if you bring it in for another service I feel like a lot of places will just do it. I know I brought my car in to pep boys one time for an oil change or something and asked them to look at it and they just did it, no extra charge.

    I feel like it’s one of those little things that no one is quite sure how to write it up in the system, and figuring it out is more of a pain in the ass than just not mentioning it to the boss, not like he’s gonna notice they used an extra scrap of sandpaper and blob of sealant anyway.
