California has a regulation that repair shops check and inflate each vehicle’s tires to the recommended tire pressure rating, with air or nitrogen, as appropriate, at the time of performing any automotive maintenance or repair service.
I'm wondering if other states or jurisdictions have a similar rule. Also, is this actually followed? What's been your experience with repair shops checking and adjusting tire inflation when a vehicle is brought in for repairs.
I work almost exclusively with two repair shops, and both of them make sure my tires are checked and properly inflated. However, perhaps in violation of the regulation, they inflate my tires to my specifications, not the manufacturers suggested or recommended inflation.
