I received a charge on my credit card for $2.00 listed as USA*CSC TEP CO. After some research it shows that this company is related to https://www.cscsw.com and in my case the charge was for using one of their local tire inflating air machines (in Massachusetts) at a Speedway gas station (https://www.cscsw.com/services/air-service/). Also they also provide the same credit card charging services at laundromats and for using some car wash vacuums. Here's a yelp review on this company (https://www.yelp.com/biz/csc-serviceworks-plainview).

Air pump at fuel center Safeway etc

Air at a 7-11 using my credit card.

Air Pump for Tires using Credit Card at Gas Station. At the Times of use it said $1.50 but they charged my CC for $5.00. I am going to dispute charges!!

My charge was 1.50 at the speedway air machine. Not anymore for me.

I used one of the air compressors at a local filling station to inflate my tires. The machine was not measuring my tire pressure the same as my vehicles information and when inflating it would inflate about 10 pounds of pressure then start all over reading the tire pressure as it was before the 10 pounds was inflated. I checked it with the tire guage I had in my car, which matched my vehicle information (reading 28psi) the machine read 19 psi. I stopped with this machine to prevent any possible damage and so it cost me $2.00 for nothing. Then I went across the street to another station to use that air compressor (same company owned this one as the first one) this machine measured my air pressure correctly, I aired up all four tires and this machine was only $1.75 UNTIL the next day when I was looking at my card transactions and it charged me $1.75 THIRTEEN (13) TIMES! So altogether it cost me $24.75 to air my tires. $2.00 for first machine that wasn't working properly and $22.75 for second machine that charged me 13 times for one transaction!! I am contacting the company and my bank. I want my money back!!

USING A CAR VACUUM AT A LOCAL ROYAL FARMS STORE.. CHARGE WAS $1.75, AT THE STATION..BUT MY BANK STATEMENT SHOWS $2.00:-/

The air pump was inoperable, but the charges were still assessed against my bank account.

Was recharged for using a air service Weeks Later then the air service was used. Called my bank

This was a charge by a self-service machine at a Chevron gas station that put air in my tires. It was a legit charge.

Tire Air station at Circle K in St. Louis MO

Air at Speedway

I agreed to a $2 charge but my statement shows $5. I used their air services about 8 hours ago.

SCAM SCAM SCAM :( I used the air pump in Dothan, Al at the Marathon convenience store located across the street from Wayne Farm. The air worked BUT hours later my 'CASHAPP' card was being used for transactions over $1,000 (hotels, restaurant, etc). I've been a 'Cashapp' member for 7 years now and never have I had issues with the card until then. I immediately knew that whoever it is installing these card machines were SCAMMERS. Once they realize that the large amount was not there they then processed to charge me $2 for the air pump instead of $1.50 I hope these creeps get caught and that this message reach and inform many :(

I went to 3 stations in Farmington Michigan & none of the machines to inflate my tires was working. Finally the 4th station had a working unit so I proceeded to inflate a tire which I did successfully. The unit showed $1.50 for the charges but upon inspecting my bank account it now shows a charge for $10.00. After reading the above comments of others it appears that this company is a fraud. I'm going to dispute the charge at the bank and also go back to the station to confront the problem there.

At any given time over any geo area, at least half of these tire air machines are out of order. Often you don’t learn this until after you have paid. Go to an auto parts store, or online, and invest in a portable tire inflator powered via the 12V outlet in your vehicle. Highly affordable and convenient.

This Charge is also concerning a Tire Air Machine. In this case, it was a Gate Gas Station in Ponte Vedra, Fl and the cost was $1.75 for about 5 minutes. It all worked, but I didn't recognize the charge on my Credit Card statement which listed the company as "USA*CSC TEP CO PONTE VEDRA Fl" and furthermore the bank statement didn't list a toll free (1-800 phone) to query the $1.75 charge. I spent some valuable life minutes playing "Columbo" on Google & the Credit Card CSR phone before determining that the charge was legit. After reading of other's problems with billing, etc; I will not use this type service again.

Air pump at local grocery - said $1.50...Credit card charged $2.00 ...SAD.

It is an air pump machine located within the same area of Safeway gas pumps, it is used to add air to your tires on your vehicle. I too was not so sure what company that was for until I realized it was from that, it’s actually quite a great pump, you set your desired max and it stops at exactly that psi. For only $2 I am definitely returning back there to have my tires inflated. Hope this helps.

My wife's Ford Edge had a flat tire and one of the log nut was stripped, I could not change the spare tire. Went to Tire Air station at Circle K in Ocoee FL (nearby), aired the flat tire and drove to the nearest Discount Tire. When the $2.00 charge showed on my account I knew it was for the Air Station at Circle K, it was Life saver. I give them 5 Stars.

'Legit' charge? I used this air machine at a 7-11 in Oklahoma City. LCD panel read that it would be a $2.00 charge. No idea how many minutes or air amount this is supposed to buy. I was charged $10.00. I'll never use one of these machines again and I'm telling everyone that I know to avoid them. I'm going back to that 7-11 today and lodge a complaint. If I have to, I'll take it all the way to 7-11 corporate. This is a rip-off

Gas station Edwardsville il. Screen said .50. I was charges $2. Don’t care about the money per say, it’s the fraud I have an issue with.

Can you help? What is this charge?
