Scipio Tire Truck — Local services in Scipio

THIS IS NOT A 24HR MOBILE SERVICE. The only way you'll get help after hours is to go to Randy's house and wake him up. That's how it worked for me.

This guy will leave you stranded. I called at 10:30 on a Tuesday night and he claimed the truck was out on call. Then he asked if I could make it to the "shop" because it would be at least an hour before the truck would get back. Before I could answer he hung up on me. I tried calling back and the call went right to voicemail. Following the last thing he said to me I limped to his "shop" address in Scipio on my flat tire.

I was only 2 miles north of Scipio, but in order to get to his shop I had to go about 10 miles further north before being able to turn around and going 12+ miles south. I continued calling while driving on my flat tire hoping to confirm he could help me at his shop. All of my calls went immediately to voicemail because the phone had been turned off.

Once I finally made it to his "shop" address, it was a house. I knocked and rang the doorbell several times, but nobody would answer the door.

Avoid this guy even if you're stranded, because it will only add additional frustration.

Response to the owners comment.

He did eventual call me. I must have left a dozen messages and I know an affiliate service sent a couple of texts to Randy (owner) trying to get a response. When he called Randy claimed he was out on a call and his phone coverage was spotty. I told him I was stranded in Scipio, and the one hotel in town was booked. He said he would be getting back to his shop in about 15 minutes. I waited at his shop (which was a different location than his house address 265 S 200 W that is associate with his 24hr mobile tire business).

When Randy got there he turned on the shop lights and opened 2 shop doors. His mobile truck was parked inside one of the bays. That tipped me off that he hadn't been out on a call as he claimed. I asked "if he was on a service call, why was his mobile service truck inside the shop?". He lied and claimed he has a 2nd truck and the one in the shop never leaves the shop. Why own a mobile tire service and setup a truck with all the equipment to leave it in the shop?

Once the tire was replaced, I was retracing my route because I noticed a molding piece by the tires fell off and I hoped to find it. This took me back past the house at 265 S 200 W. I noticed a light on inside the house which was off when I was there before. That made me feel pretty sure Randy had been at his home the whole time and not on a call like he claimed. Then, as I was passing his house, Randy drove past me returning to his house from the shop.

THIS IS NOT A 24HR MOBILE SERVICE. The only way you'll get help after hours is to go to Randy's house and wake him up. That's how it worked for me. I think after I woke Randy up at his house, he turned on his phone and got my messages and the texts from the local guy that was reaching out to him for me. Don't advertise as a 24 hr business, then leave people stranded. And don't lie to your customers to try and make...

We were stranded on the highway for 5 hours with no one to help called them twice. First time we called they said they needed our exact location and to call back once we had it. Tone was very rude. We figure out what Mile marker we were at and told them which exit we were close to and that we were headed south on I-15 so we called them back and told them that guy was not happy to have us call back he was angry and huffed and just hung up on us. Luckily someone who lived two hours away from where we were came and got us and helped us out go get back on the road. My advice don’t call them at all to help you out just doesn’t seem like they want to help at all.

IN RESPONSE OF THE OWNER If your a 24 hour service as you claim to be don’t act rude and unprofessional. Again like in the review I could give detail to exactly where we were and you just didn’t care we also had told him we were calling him because he was ten minutes away from us but since we were on I-15 and it was about one in the morning we didn’t want to risk getting out of the car not being seen. After we told you we’re we were we would 100 percent be willing to pay what you asked we had already been there long enough we just wanted to get out. Hanging up on people as the owner is just ridiculous. Glad we got help from some one who was way more reliable then a man who runs a...

We got a flat on our camping trailer about 20 minutes outside of town. I put on my spare and we continued driving while I called them to see if they might be able to patch our original flat when we arrived in town. He advised that their main shop was actually right by the flying J, which was convenient cause we could fill up the truck in the same parking lot. We got there and were greeted by Randy. He was happy and quick to help, understanding that we wanted to get back on the road. He took the time to show me the type of flat and how it couldn't be repaired. I was offered a new tire or a potential for a used tire. He was able to find an used tire that was an exact match and get it back onto our trailer. I appreciated his kindness towards my family (I had curious children watching him as he worked) and that he was able to get us back on the road with a good condition used tire at a fair price. I'd definitely recommend this business and would highly recommend calling them for roadside, as I'm sure they'd take care of you...
