    They are all roughly the same, if you want to get a proper reading then you'll need to pick up a seperate pressure gauge. But some of the new digital compressors may be accurate.

    Don't fall into the all too common trap of assuming that just because something's got a digital readout that it's more accurate than something with an analogue readout. It may be more precise but not necessarily more accurate .. two completely different things.


    I love the way you took out the section telling the OP that to get a proper reading to buy a seperate pressure gauge and also I said that the digital one MAY be accurate I never said that the digital ones where accurate.

    It was more of a general remark than one aimed at anyone's post in particular. No need to feel offended :)

    I must be lucky; the pressure gauge in my local garage works 99% of the time, and they have a very good water line, rather than using a bucket to fill the water reservoir!!!

    Also, if I get them to do a mini valet, they'll also check and replace bulbs, do the tyre pressures, and top up the oil and water if you ask them to when you leave it in, and they'll only charge the cost of the oil/bulbs! That said, it's family owned and run, so the customer service is better than the other, bigger "chain" garages.

    Just to take this one step further, what about service stations with no spare bulbs, fuses, etc?
