Air for tires available at Pemex, etc ??


My portable air compressor died a few days ago. Now heading north.

What are the odds the next station down the road will have a functioning air compressor that pumps up to 120 PSI ??

Thx amigos !

Some do- not all.

I was told to go to the llantero (tire repair shop) in El Rosario two weeks ago after filling up at the Pemex.

They are more likely to have a working air compressors vs. Pemex.

True. Commercial truck tires to fit my 19.5" wheels. Doubt if I could even get a flat fixed in Baja!

There are more llanteras around than gas stations. Every village will have some shack with a pile of old tires in front and handwritten sign on a piece of a cardboard. Llanteras all have compressors.
