How This Started

Why We Built a Shop That Drives to You

Rapid Roadside Repair Inc. exists because of a simple observation: the truck almost never breaks down somewhere convenient.

One of our owners learned the trade from his father, who taught him everything he knew about engines. What the son figured out early was that he did not want to spend a career on one kind of machine. He liked the variety — a semi one morning, a combine that afternoon, a dump truck the next day. That range is now the whole shape of this company.

Every hour a rig sits still costs somebody money, and every hour a tractor sits idle during harvest costs somebody a crop. Waiting on a tow, then a shop queue, turns a short repair into a long week. So we went the other direction and put the tools in the truck instead. What keeps him doing it is not complicated: he likes pulling up to somebody stranded on the shoulder and watching the relief show up on their face.

What We Hold To

Four Things That Do Not Change on a Bad Night

Busy season, bad weather, or a call that comes in at closing time — these stay the same.

We Pick Up the Phone

There is no answering service between you and a mechanic. Someone who can actually send a truck takes the call, at three in the morning the same as three in the afternoon.

Straight Answers on Scene

If a job needs a shop, we say so before the clock runs. Telling a driver the truth costs us one invoice and earns the next ten calls, which is a trade we will make every time.

We Come to the Problem

Shoulder of the interstate, a gravel farm lane, the back of a yard. If the equipment cannot get to a shop, that is exactly the job we built the trucks for.

Veteran-Owned, Locally Run

Rolla is home, not a service area on a map. When you call, you reach the people whose name is on the truck, and they live about as far from you as the next exit.

Who Turns the Wrenches

Sixty-Five Years Between Two Owners

One owner has fifteen years in the trade. The other has fifty. Both of them still go out on calls.

Fifty years of diesel work means having already seen the failure you are looking at. Fifteen years means being current on the electronics and aftertreatment systems that did not exist for most of those fifty. Between the two, very little that rolls down I-44 or works a field around here is unfamiliar.

We work on Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, International, Volvo and Mack on the road side, and John Deere, Case IH, Kubota, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, Mahindra and Kioti on the equipment side. If it hauls freight or works ground in south central Missouri, we have most likely had our hands in one.

The Short Version

What You Get When We Pull Up

"Fast response and outstanding customer service. They kept me updated, explained what had gone wrong, and made sure everything was working properly before leaving. The entire experience was straightforward and stress-free."

Ashley P.

"Excellent service from start to finish. They arrived when they said they would and had my vehicle running much faster than expected. I appreciated the honest communication and fair pricing."

Melissa R.

"We had a piece of farm equipment go down during a busy workday. Rapid Roadside Repair came to our property, found the issue, and handled the repair on-site. They saved us a lot of time and hassle."
