Tire pressure

First, just finding out exactly what's wrong with my tires would be important to me. Second, depending on what's leaking, it could very well be fixed right there, right then. Depends on a person's skill set and available tools, right? Kinda common sense stuff for a lot of us here. Do you just take your bike to "The Guy" to get it fixed every time you have a problem with it Rounder? Without even wanting, or knowing what's actually wrong with it? Sometimes preliminary troubleshooting is required to determine if it can be repaired in "Your" shop.......... or "The Guy's" shop.
Other than tightening valve stem, I bring wheel in.

You don't need a jack for spraying soapy water on. Spray and area and wait, I like to take my hand and wipe the bubbles away, so I can see the new ones form at the leak. Just roll if forward, spary again etc. spray the tire bead, valve stem, take the cap of and spray.
A couple weeks ago I had a very slow leak in the front, I soaped it twice before I saw where it was. It ended up being a tiny nail/brad.
I'm a magnet for nails etc. One week after I got a new rear tire installed, I picked up a screw. Two leaks in two weeks. Both tires have plugs. Every vehicle I have has had a plug or two, even my riding lawn mower has one. I know your suppose to put a new tire on, but plugs have served me well.
