Funny,,,, i never have this problem no matter what garage i land at.
You can always giggle the pump arround inbetween the spokes. It just take a min to get the right angle.
At home i have a compresson and a hand pump,,,, i use either,,,,,but i also have a propper tyre pressure reader that i use to make sure the pressure is correct because all the other guages read different.
