Getting Tire Pressure Checked

I just purchased a used A Class Motorhome and would like to know how to locate places that will check and add air to tires while traveling. I do not want to do it myself.
Also what type of service centers will do oil changes for an A Class? I have a gas engine.
Thanks,
SageRobert

All most any Class 8 truck oil change and repair centers will do the oil change and related service. From my understanding tire checks and fills are a chargeable service, again at most truck service centers or tire shops.

I would install a TPMS for piece of mind.

Edit
I assumed you have a Diesel Class A, They should also do a gasser although they may not have filters.

Ok, understand you don’t want to mess with the tires, but under inflated tires is one of the primary reasons for tire failure. Even if you don’t want to get an air compressor, at least get a gauge and periodically check the pressures so you know when you need service. We are headed to Acadia NP next week and the number 1 thing was to air up the tires. I expect your class A has TPMS, but if not, I second Frank G’s recommendation. Don’t leave home without it.

So you either have a Ford or GM chasses under the Class A. You need to find the dealers that handle Medium Duty Trucks. Most others will turn you away...ask me how I know, even if it is something simple and the tow costs more then the repair.
