I have a couple of leaky tires and had the same issues. I bought a great compressor for like $25 on Amazon. Plug it in, set the pressure, and turn it on. Takes a little longer, but it is there whenever you need it. Got tired of the guessing game on if a nozzle would be there.

kum&go at sunshine and scenic will let you use theirs for free, but you have to park at the air spot then go inside to the register and give them your driver's license, then they'll give you the nozzle to use on your tires. You go back inside and give the nozzle back, they give you your license back.

Kum and Go on E. Sunshine, in front of the MO Career Services, is always reliable.

Signal at Campbell and Broadmoor has a really nice air pump. I ran into that same situation during the last snow storm. I went to 3 different Kum n Go's before I found one that had a nozzle. The one at signal was ran over at the time.

Costco. But I think you have to be a member to activate. Pretty sure it’s nitrogen, too. It’s by the tire service entrance.

Rapid Roberts used to have them, but they do charge you for air.

Frame pump. Tube in a wedge pack with a dollar bill and a small amount of duct tape in case you need to make a boot. It's a good idea to put a mini cable lock on your wedge pack though. I've had tweakers steal one of those before for God only knows what reason.

If you have a Costco membership, their air station is amazing. You set the psi, clamo it on and it does the work and shuts off.

I love discount tire co, you just pull up near their bays and they’ll top you off. Very friendly guys there.

My recommendation is pick up a car power-station (aka, battery with jumper cables and some ports) that also has a compressor. I haven't used gas station air in years.

I got tired of going inside and asking for the nozzle. I just gave in and bought a portable air compressor that hooks up to my cigarette lighter in my car.

Never in my 40 year, 6 doing drugs, have I heard of meth heads stealing these for pipes. Meth pipes are sold all over this town in shitty gas stations.

Great job everyone, you fell for it. Now OP knows all the places that still have them so they can steal them, and have meth pipes for days.

The signal station on campbell, n of sunset / across from ace has a great air compressor that can check your tires and fill them to whatever pressure you set on the machine. And its free.

Not everyone is up for this, but include a tire plug kit and some pliers and there is potential for you to be able to temporarily repair some kinds of tire punctures without even removing the tire from the car. Has saved me a lot of trouble at least once.

From my knowledge every one still has theirs you just gotta ask the people at the counter for it cause it gets stolen of it's left outside.

The best purchase I've made since moving to springfield is a $3 air chuck that I keep in my car and can screw onto any of the hoses that have had theirs stolen

It's like this pretty much everywhere. I got tired of rolling the dice so I dropped $30 on a cheap portable air compressor. Just make sure to keep it charged!
