    I don't think Applegreen charge. There's one in Baldoyle beside the industrial estate.

    Apple Green at St. Margaret’s/ back of airport.
    The problem with the free ones is they tend to be broken more so than working.

    I used to hate the charging thing but recently in the local Topaz and saw for €1 you get 5mins to use between air, vacuum and fragrance.

    If you have space in the garage and more than a one car household it is the way to go I think.

    Probably overkill and too big for most users, I have one half the size and its dead handy.

    All applegreens I've seen are free.

    Applegreen on Howth Road is free anyway.

    I've one of this, https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OP0WZGI/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_HqyoDbSEFGNSX
    haven't used a garage to check pressures in years. Handy to keep in the boot, in case of slow punctures etc 'till you make it to a garage.

    You'll spend more than the 50c/€1 that most places charge for air if you drive out of your way to get free air.
