Utah - I-15 - Scipio and Beaver - Flying J Issues?

[ramgunner]

The Salt Lake Tribune posted an article about a scam associated with the Flying J locations on I-15 in Scipio and Beaver. The owner of those locations also owns tire shops and was preying on folks towing RV's.

I wanted to see if anyone here has experienced issues with these locations.

Ron, that's a classic example experience for those particular franchise locations. At least you didn't get caught up in the scam.

I reached out to Pilot/Flying J for a statement and I'm told that they will have something later today. I'll keep everyone updated.

I stopped at the Scipio flying J several years back. While I was fueling up, a guy came out in a golf cart and has a clip board and seemed to be checking the gas pumps. Said Hi as he passed and then went on to the pumps on the other side of my mh. A few seconds later he came back and said: do you know your right front tire is developing a tread separation? Well, of course I had to see for myself and he pointed out a dark mark on the outside tread of the tire. I looked a little closer, and you could tell that he had run his thumb/finger on the tread and wiped off the road dust. I looked back at him and said: "you gotta be kidding me". He said: "nope, and if you want me to check it out for you I have a tire shop just on the other side of the station."

I told him he outta be ashamed of himself and that he was an a$$hole, shook my head and went back to fueling the mh.

The tires at the time had about 7 or 8 thousand miles on them and I drove them for four more years and 30,000 miles.....without any flats or blowouts and tread separation I might add.
