Tires keep losing pressure

I just had my tires replaced and ever since my left rear tire has been losing about 3psi a day. Do you guys think its a slow leak or should I take it back to the tire place and have them take a look at it? Any possibilities what might be causing this?

I would spray the wheel down with soapy water to see if you can find the leak. Look for bubbles. It could be from a nail, Valve Stem OR RIM. At least you will have an idea what wrong. Sometimes they leak from around the rim due to mineral buildup over the years. If not cleaned the tire will not sit flush to the RIM and leak. If this is the issue the Inner RIM lip should be cleaned/sanded prior to tire mounting. ALSO take the CAP off the valve stem and spray it to see if that leaks. Good Luck.
