I like the Wir prüfen gerne auch Ihren Reifendruck, example; "We'll be happy to check your tire pressure," is something you might hear at a garage in English. (Of course what they might really be happy about is the chance to sell you new tires.) English is full of words and phrases that used for politeness rather than meant literally; the most notorious is "How are you?" which is basically equivalent to "Hello." In a doctor's office you might hear "If you don't mind," which really means "You should do it whether you mind or not, if you want me to cure you."
