Never heard of anyone offering to check and inflate your tires as part of an oil change. Thats totally your responsibility. I find once a month is good if the tires arent leaking. When my kids show up for a visit theres often no oil on the dipstick and 18 psi in their tires. They got fancy wheels and air intakes though.

Yeah, I thought that ANYWHERE that you might get your oil changed the folks would check your tire pressure for you, and especially if you went to the dealership.

If it's a USDM, then it has TPMS. (TPMS became mandatory in 08)

The Yaris TPMS is set to go off at 28/29 psi.

This info is as provided by my roomate, who is a Toyota/MCEP certified master mechanic, currently employed with Toyota.
