I bought this stupid cheap air pump off Amazon that is powered off my car's cigarette lighter and it has changed my life (well, mildly). It's a LITTLE slow (I'd say about half the speed of a gas station one) but I can pump air in my own garage/driveway whenever I want to.
Similar to this one although not that one. I checked and the one I bought is no longer for sale.
Otherwise I go to HyVee Gas because their pumps have a reader built in that you can set to your desired PSI and it beeps at you when done.
Get a digital tire inflator. Bolt owners like to stare at the tire pressure readings on the dash. Checking if they are 37 psi or over. A tire inflator tucked away in the back would come in handy.

As others have said, just go to pretty much any gas station, some charge, some don't.
I have a slow leak in some of my tires, so I just bought a little air compressor about a year ago. It's been working fine, and it's handy to have in an emergency.
You can just set it to what pressure you want the tire at and leave it until it's done. I does get pretty warm though, so it's not meant for extended use(more than 15m at a time).
For anyone like me who doesn't have a garage. I got one of these and it has been amazing. You can plug it into your vehicles 12V/Cigarette power and inflate all of your tires to exactly the correct pressure. Only $35.

If you have to fill your tires somewhat regularly, my suggestion is to get one of those portable pumps. My tires are also sensitive to the temp and I was tired of running around finding an air pump at a station.
My one isn't for sale anymore, but it's similar to this one https://www.amazon.com.au/AstroAI-Inflator-Portable-Compressor-Motorcycle/dp/B07QR4Q42L/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=7N4LD8QN5CVI&keywords=tire+inflator&qid=1659986825&sprefix=%2Caps%2C231&sr=8-3

I just bought a portable air compressor to use at home instead

My dad got me a tire pump like the one I linked when I got my first car and it is has been a LIFESAVER. It is plugs right into your 12v car plug, tells you the pressure in real time and you can get a good one for like $30. I keep mine in my trunk at all times and after over 10 years it still works perfectly. 15/10 Recommend.

You could also buy a small air compressor that you can leave in your trunk -- this is the one i use: https://www.amazon.com/AstroAI-Portable-Compressor-Inflator-Motorcycle/dp/B07QR4Q42L/ref=sr\_1\_3?crid=12NPB41A5SGTO&keywords=car+tire+air+compressor&qid=1640897345&sprefix=car+tire+air%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-3
Doesn't really matter. They're all fairly cheap options and you don't use one often enough to make an expensive one worthwhile. I bought this one for my dad last year and he likes that it stops automatically when it hits a certain pressure.
I just bought this one on Amazon. I like it because you set the pressure and it screws on so you can walk away.

buy this, thank me later. sorry, the amazon devil is our new god
Also in my old comment, I used a wishlist link, so whoever bought it can return it if they gifted it to me
I have a 12 V tire inflator because I tow and have become obsessed with tire pressures, plus its easier to use than the ones at the gas station. Its this one for $32: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QR4Q42L/
And I have a big 4 way lug wrench. Also a bottle jack that's always with the car, plus two scissor jacks when the trailer comes along. Most importantly I have AAA and usually don't bother changing out my tire because I'm old and have a bad back and I'd rather they did it.
Buy one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QR4Q42L?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_ypp_rep_k3_1_9&amp=&crid=1N1IP2GFH7KC1&amp=&sprefix=air+pump+
$34 and you never have to go through one of these searches or kneel down on some nasty-ass gas station pavement again.
My go to is this husky 12v from HomeDepot is a great option, it’ll run off power from your car! https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-12-Volt-Inflator-HD12A/301753171
For a cheaper option this one on Amazon seems good but I haven’t used one myself https://www.amazon.com/AstroAI-Portable-Compressor-Inflator-Motorcycle/dp/B07QR4Q42L/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3TH4ICTRLQPMI&keywords=12v+tire+inflator&qid=1658861829&sprefix=12v+ti%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-3
Another thing you can do is buy a pump at your local auto parts store or hardware store. Something like this.
I also recommend picking up an air compressor that runs off the cigarette lighter/power source in your car.
This is the one I got. Been working great for the occasional top off when the air temp drops
I got this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QR4Q42L/
I really like that I can set it to the pressure that I want and then just leave it to sort it out.
Thanks for this! I wound up buying this one off of Amazon. Hopefully it works just as well. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07QR4Q42L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_N7C8HJRJP9Y1DDJ1238F
