Free air in a state where you can't pump your own gas

New Jersey is the only state where drivers may not pump their own gas. That rule covers fuel, not air: the air machine at QuickChek is self-serve, so park next to it and fill your tires yourself.

New Jersey stations don't have to offer free air by law, unlike neighboring Connecticut. That makes chains like QuickChek and Wawa the most reliable free options in the state.

How to use the air at QuickChek

  1. Find your target pressure on the sticker inside the driver's door, not the maximum on the tire.
  2. Park so the hose reaches all four tires and unscrew the valve caps.
  3. On a digital machine, set the PSI first; on a plain hose, check the gauge often.
  4. Fill in short bursts until the reading matches, then put the caps back on.

Cold weather and your tires

Most QuickChek locations on our map are in New Jersey, where the average temperature drops from about 77 °F in July to 33 °F in January (NOAA). Tire pressure falls roughly 1 PSI for every 10 °F, so tires set correctly in summer are about 4 PSI low by midwinter. Check them monthly, and always when the low-pressure light comes on.
