Slow leak, possibly valve stem

[fywdyl]

Hey guys,

I've been dealing with a stupid slow leak for a while now. I pretty much have to pump up my tires every 3-4 days to keep it inflated and it costs me $1 each time.

I suspect it's the valve stem. Do you guys have any recommendation for shops around the Markham area? Or just any shop will do? Does Jimmy do tire repairs too?

Thanks.

He fixed my valve stem awhile ago, too maybe 10mins. The way to make sure its the valve stem is by putting water and maybe some soap on if it bubbles up then its a cheap fix. If that doesn't work for you go to Simply tire if you're in that location Allen is pretty good as well.

Thanks guys. I'll give it a check first before bothering Jimmy.

Got my tire fixed at Steelcase Tires 'n' Mags. $15, in and out in 15 min. Turns out it was a small nail (good job bluemazda3).

You do not have to pay for air at Petro- Can stations. Apparently they charge for use of the pump for maintenance cost. When customers use the pump the attendant can't see who is using the pump, so there is a charge. If you go into the station and ask the attendant to turn on the pump there is no charge. This is a Petro-Canada policy.
