Texaco Scorpion

The story of Jim. We found him at the small Shell station in Idaho Springs, Colorado. Jim saved my father and I from a very dangerous and stressful road trip.
My dads windshield wiper fluid stopped working and because there were so many holiday travelers and trucks on the road this morning, their vehicles constantly kicked up dirt, mud and snow all over our windshield. We couldn’t go more then a couple of exits without having to pull over on the side of the road and spray the window down by hand, just so we could see.
Our visibility got so bad that we were forced to turn in to this resort town. We heard from the locals that sometimes a mechanic works at the shell gas station. We have never known a shell to have mechanics, but we didn’t have any other option so we drove over there. I walked in an ask for the mechanic. They told me the mechanic for this town won’t be back until Monday.
Me: «you got to be kidding :(«
A man named, Jim, says, «well let me look at it. I’ve worked on cars throughout my life.» After 10 minutes of him scratching his head trying to figure out why our fluid hose wasn’t attached to anything, nor could it even reach the wiper fluid tank, He started to think outside the box. He analyzed it from a backwards perspective.
He ended up finding the problem and fixed it right there. He wouldn’t allow us to pay him at first. I said, «You just saved our ass! You’re AWESOME AND We MUST give you something. Please!»
We went back and forth. My father and I weren’t backing off.
Still hesitant, always trying to give us a out, Jim says, «okay, maybe a few bucks so I can get a couple of cheeseburgers ?»
He was the most gracious man. He took on our problem, problem of complete strangers and solved it while standing in the cold, wet weather.
My dad went to the atm and gave him a $ 20. Jim seemed so appreciative, as were we of his kindness. Our trip went from highly stressful to relaxing and even quite enjoyable, not to mention, a hell of a lot safer. All thanks to this mans simple act of kindness. Thank You for that, Jim.
God bless you.
Sincerely,
Brooke and James Hattabaugh
The end.

Was stuck on the side of the road off the Bakerville exit on I-​70 near the tunnels. Called AAA. Chris from Scorpion got there in less time than it took to set up the tow on the phone! Chris was quick, courteous, professional, and he clearly cared that I got to where I needed to be. Rode in the clean, comfortable cab all the way back to Broomfield and had a great conversation. Turned a crappy day into a pretty good one! Thanks guys!

My car was disabled on I70 in the wee hours of the morning. They were there to pick me up in the time they said they would be and towed me to Denver. Good service.

We had car problems after we stopped in Idaho Springs. We called both AAA and the Infinity help line for assistance. Both contacted Scorpion towing. They got there faster than it took AAA to answer our call.
Super nice guy gave us a jump and we were on our way. He even waited to make sure we were able to drive away! Infinity told us we needed to be towed into Denver which luckily wasn’t the issue rather just a dead battery.

Crooks, tried to hold truck hostage because they made unauthorized winch out. driver already had road service on the way.

I ran into vehicle problems late and they guided me in. Had to spend the night is a pretty lame hotel (that’s altogether different story) and they had my truck up and running again by 9 am! Great service and very reasonable cost.

These guys are the «above and beyond» champs. If you need auto help on the I70 corridor, Call SCORPION!

Fast, quality service. Clean truck, nice driver, couldn’t ask for more.
