Slow leak

 In the past month and a half (approximately) my low tire pressure light has come on. The first couple times I just filled all 4 tires and didn't pay much attention. Then I decided that I needed to see which one was actually the problem. Unfortunately my car doesn't tell me which tire is low it just says "low tire pressure"

I found that it was the rear passenger side tire that was the issue. I called the garage where I always take my car and they scheduled an appointment for a Monday which as you know is my day off. Not wanting to get up early in the morning to drop the car off I decided that after work on Sunday I would drop it off and then walk home.

Leaving the garage and headed toward home I thought I would snap a few pictures. This is at the very beginning of the walk home. So long as I can make it up this hill the rest of the walk is a piece of cake.


This is just past the store I work at and I'm right in front of the post office.


As I came upon the diner I couldn't help snapping a picture of how nicely they have it decorated.

After this I stuffed the phone in my pocket and just walked. The next day I had to walk back down to pick up the car when they were done. That walk is all down hill and much easier. The verdict was a bad valve stem in the tire and he only charged me $20

I woukdchave been tempted to go in that diner if it were open...the decorations alone are inviting...

I'm glad it was a pretty easy fix and not a new tire. The diner is SO cute. Is the food good there?

Ann yay you on walking home. That was lots of steps I'm sure.
I Really like the diner's decorations. This time of year our tire pressure light comes on when the temp is below 50. After driving a bit the tire warms up and light goes off.
Not a bad price at all for the valve repair

Exactly, dear Ann, let the expert do it! And he found out.
We always have a rental car available when the car is in the workshop.
However, your way wasn't that far.
Good luck with your car and best regards to you.

That worked out well with your tire. What a lovely walk and such a sweet town you live in.

We have had a low pressure message for months now! Husband has checked and one tyre is about 0.1% down so we're ignoring it!
