Tire Leak

It's coming out somewhere. How fast is it losing pressure? I can't believe that an experienced shop can't figure it out. Remove the wheel and get a spray bottle of soapy water. Check the beads on both sides, the valve (both where it goes in the rim and the valve core, tread, and sidewalls. The only thing left is the rim itself. That's really rare, but not unheard of.

Assuming the tire is 100% puncture free, the most common cause of a slow leak would be a loose or bad valve. Second most common would be leaky bead (usually from debris between tire and rim). I've seen a small pebble get in-between and cause a slow leak. Hairline crack in rim is third, but could also be the cause.

I've had issues with the tire valve>wheel area, loose valve stems, or slow leaks because of the barcode stickers that the manufacturers place in the bead surface of the tire.
But usually its because the tire store monkeys scratched the bead area during removal reinstall.
If your 'autohaus' can't resolve it, go to a Firestone...
