Air pumps now take credit cards.... T hey are a legitimate company charge
Just saw a charge for $1.25 from them on my bank account and was confused by the Plainview, NY considering I live in Florida, but then I remembered I used my debit card to put air in my car tire.
I do not know about this company, but the air pump stations are a rip-off!
RIP OFF
I thought my identity was stolen but I did use my credit card for $1 to put air in one of my tires so it appears to be legitimate
Used at Shell station ($1.50) because I didn't have 6 quarters. Confusing directions. When you are side of vehicle you can't see digital pressure gauge on other side showing tire pressure. Would not use again except in emergency.
Confirmed...this appears to be a charge for the credit card usage of an air pump machine used for filling tires at a gas station (Santa Barbara County, CA). I remember when air for tires and water for your radiator were no-cost items at gas stations. In California, they have to give you the air at no cost if you purchase gas during that visit.
This is a legitimate charge for tire air pumps. I used it at a Speedway gas station and highly recommend using it for accuracy in air measurement. It is worth the charge.
Yes, this is legit. The air pumps taking credit cards. Not a rip off. You swiped your card!! :)
Have 2 charges on my credit card from your company, while I was in Mexico. My card was in my possession. Both on 2/12. Please explain.
Says Auto Air&Vacuum 2/12/16 $1.50 and 2/12/16 $ 1.25
No
suspicous
I got charged $28.10 for putting air in my car tire. Im talking to my bank about this
REMEMBER USING YOUR C.C. OR D.C. FOR TIRE PUMP? I DO NOW!!!
I got a bank alert telling me that I spent $2 at the auto air and vacuum in Plainview, NY, but I did not make this purchase. I live in Florida and was in Florida at the time of "purchase". This is clearly fraud. If this happened to you, CALL YOUR BANK IMMEDIATELY
FRAUD
SUSPICIOUS
It is legitimate. The air pump at my local 7-11 drive in gas and grocery takes credit cards. I saw this company issued a charge against my account so I looked them up here. When I saw what they do I remembered having used that pump.
Hi,I am french and my bank blocked my crédit card telling me that i spent 1$ at an auto air and vacuum in America. But i'm in France so it's rip off
I used my debit card at an air pump. It said the charge would be $1.50, but it miraculously rose to $1.75 when it hit my bank!
Got an alert today on a c.c. that I do not use. I had a charge for $1.25 for this company. They are frauds!
Used for tire pressure in Myrtle Beach and the only thing it took was a credit card. Very short hose. very short time before shut off. I'll avoid except for emergency.
At first I thought it was fraud because I didn't recognize the Plainview, NY location. Then AHA, I remembered putting air in my car tires at a Circle K and swiping my card in the air machine. So, yes this was legit for me.
If you see this charge on your bank statement, your credit card number has been stolen. They charge a small amount at first to see if you "catch" the charge. If not, they continue to charge other items within a very short period of time. Call your bank immediately if you did not put air in your tires. I became a victim very quickly.
i did put air in my tires and charged it
i put air in my tires
I used my card for air at gas station. Supposed to be 1.50. Charge came thru at 3.25.
Had a charge but it was legit. Used the card at an air pump at the local chevron.
This change is from the air and vacuum services. The company is located in NY.
Legitimate. I didn't recognize it at first, but I did put air in my tires at a local Speedway station. There are places in my neighborhood that provide air for free, but I was out of town, the "low tire pressure" light was on, so I stopped at the closest station. The charges was $1.00, as posted on the sign.
If you see this charge on your bank statement, your credit card number has been stolen. They charge a small amount at first to see if it goes through, if it goes through they charge a large amount. I had a $600 charge Nov 6 and they did the same thing on Nov 9. My credit card company caught the charge and disabled my credit card.
I have an full-size air compressor at home and that is why I don't use gas station air pumps
This charge is fraudulent. I have been hacked 6 times in the last 9 months. I have narrowed the hacking to a restaurant I frequent. This card has not left my house except when I used it at the restaurant. I have a small compressor at home that I use. I also keep a very small one in my car. I would advise people to buy one. They are $10-$20
My charge was unauthorized and fraudulent. I don't use air pumps at gas stations but the charge from AUTO AIR & VACUUM SVC Irving TX appeared on my card. I suspect my info was stolen from a chain restaurant I frequent that recently had a security breach.
I was just charged 1.50 four times on my debit card. I had the bank check the address and it was listed as Plainview, NY. When the charges came through my bank shut my card off as they have it listed as a scam company.
Fraudulent charge! Shell NG also! Call your credit card company!
This is legit. If you have ever put air or water into your car at a gas station check the date and I bet it matches up to when this charge happened.
This company may be legitimate, but it is also used by credit scammers to test your card after they steal your information. I had a 1.50 charge here without ever using any gas station service besides gas and 2 days later the fraud charges piled up. If you haven't filled your tires recently, cancel your card immediately.
This is not a legitimate company...charged $1.50 and I live in Louisiana and I would never use a card to get air for tires.
I thought the same thing, now I remember I used my card at the gas station to pump air into my car tires.
legit. had to google it to remember swiping my card in Oregon to get air...
Used to buy air on Interstate 70, between Columbia and KC. I forgot also until checking this website..
Had a $1.50 charge on my credit card in Jan 2018 from Plainview NY. I didn't use air machine in NY, but in FL, so assume that is the charge. However, will keep a close watch to make sure no other charges show up after reading the other comments.
Had a charge for $1.75 and then had a reversal amount of $1.75. Never used my card to get air for my tires. Called my bank and they stopped my card and issued me a new one.
These are those "ExactAir" tire pumps beside some gas stations that you pay for to pump the exact amount. Mine was $1.50 for 5 minutes of air. I'm in UT, but still just shows the NY info on my stmt
These are Legit charges. Funny how some claim it's fraud because they don't Like paying for air. Then don't Pay for it, you put your card against it. We all did. (Well, most did. Some.. could be fraud for small amounts but This is a Legit business. The Company HQ in NY throws many of us but yes, I think we all remember putting air in tires. Very convenient not having to walk back and get quarters, in the Cold!
Be careful if you receive this charge. It showed up on my account recently then I received a phone call from my bank about some more transactions. Apparently someone was testing my account out at the air pump then decided to go grocery shopping with my card number.
This is a legitimate charge. When I first saw it on my account I was concerned, but then I remembered I used an air machine in Camden, SC. Apparently this is the company that owns the machines. Don't let the location of the company confuse you. I imagine they have air machines all over the country and the location you see is their headquarters.
Realized that this is the charge of airing up my tires at The Jackson😀 All legitimate!!!
Aired up my tires with my card at The Jackson...all legitimate!😀
just got charged 13 for using it twice! THEFT THEFT THEFT DONT USE THIS SERVICE THEY FRAUDULENT
This was a forgotten charge from topping off my tires on a rental car in Green Valley AZ. Legit.
I live in Morton Il, and there is no way I used my card in one of these air and vacuum machines, but yet there it is, 1.50 pending against my debit card. SCAM SCAM , if you see this cancel your card and get a new one. Its not the 1.50 they are after. This is a test to see if you or your bank notice. If you do not, they will put you in the sucker catigory. Then you are in trouble.
I used in ft myers fl. For air. Double charged me. Will not do that again.
At first, I thought this was a false charge since I live in Phoenix. Looked up the company online and remembered having to put air in a tire on a Sunday afternoon. Because of timing on my credit card bill, this charge took 5 weeks to show up. I'd forgotten all about the low tire problem, which happened well before Christmas. I agree with others that the charge is waaaay too much for what you get, but I needed air pressure and this was the only option I could find at the time.
They tried to charge my card twice and I do not live in Texas. Fraud!
Got air in my tire on Hilton head SC on vacation when my light came on. Company location is plain view NY. 1.75 hit my CC so this looks legit. If I see more charges then I know it’s a scamming company
Ok so , first off , air shouldn't cost $1.75. Second , if you're going to charge that , the pump itself should work perfectly. And last but not least , I used my debit card for the purchase and was charged $1.75 3 times !!! What a rip off !!!🤦♂️
It is a legitimate company. However their security or encryption system may be very vulnerable. I have gotten my debit card number stolen twice right after I use them. The first time I did not correlate the charge to someone stealing my debit card number. The second it was pretty obvious. I had not gone out in weeks because of covid19. So I had not used my debit card. First day I go out for a drive and the only stop I do is to inflate a tire, use it and two days later my bank calls me because someone has my card in California and spent $800.
