Rick's Service & Tire — Local services in Bevier

Driving through the Midwest there are few beacons of convenience and civilization that outshine this humble establishment. We came for gas but left with something much more valuable, life experience. From the outside Rick's may appear to your average traveler as nothing more than a simple highway-side pit stop. Looks however, can be deceiving. The restrooms were shiny and clean. There was not the expected lingering odor of human defecation and shame that one normally detects when relieving themselves hastily in a random gas station commode. You will find no poo speckled bowls or slimy soap caked dispensers here. No, the smell was at worst neutral and dare I say at best fresh and refreshing. I would of liked to have stayed longer to explore the countless surprises Rick's has in store for all of us. When we exited the building we noticed a strange man washing and squeegeeing our car windshield, unprompted, uninvited, but certainly not unwanted or unwelcomed. With a wide grin and a wink he spoke warmly and kindly, "How're y'all doin?" before returning to the establishment. We may have left Rick's far behind us on the roadside but make no mistake the memory of this special place will reside in our minds and hearts until...

Me and my daughter were unfortunately stuck with a bad alternator on a trip form Kansas City MO to Quincy IL. Rick's was a lifesaver. They were open on Saturday, and I was able to drop my car off there and it was kept safe until they could work on it on Monday. They were able to get the parts needed (serpentine belt too) and get me on the road home that day. Tyler did a great job keeping me updated and working on my car. He was extremely honest, forthcoming and pleasant. He took great care with my very old car and got it ready so I could head home in the daytime. The price was right and very fair for all the work completed. Shelia was a doll and helped keep me updated and I even got a hug when I left. I wish I lived closer to Bevier, MO as I would have a new mechanic and place to take all our vehicles to get fixed. Not that I would recommend having to work out getting your car worked on, on the fly, but if you have to - no better...

In a perfect world, people want a mechanic they can trust, who shows he and his staff cares and gives you that small, hometown feel of a place you'd visit when you was a kid with dad and as you put down roots, raised your own family, you'd still visit and do business with even into your older years. Rick's Tire and Service is that place. Having work done there is feeling like you're in Mayberry, but when you see how many bays they are busy doing work, you'd think this must be a big city business. The work is first rate excellent, the service friendly and professional and the little touches they do in customer care are very considerate. Rick's doesn't tire in doing things right: service, repair, product and customer care. Do yourself a service, take your vehicle and build a long-term relationship with Rick's Tire and Service, just off Highway...
