- The type of air compressor you need depends on your workload. If you have a high workload, you need a high capacity compressor. If working on cars is a hobby, all you need is small five gallon compressor.
- Air compressors can cost anywhere from $100 to $5,000 depending on several factors.
- If you own an automotive repair facility, an air compressor is essential and you should purchase a compressor of high quality, high capacity and fast fill time.
- There are many great manufacturers of high quality compressors; Ingersoll Rand is one of them. There are many other companies that manufacture air compressors and you should compare them to see what fits your needs and budget.
- Air compressors accumulate water inside of them and need to be drained everyday. If you don't do this, the tank will rust internally and fail (rupture) down the road.
