I-81 Service Center

I-81 Service Center

The plaza shop and restrooms are always perfect. My wife and I bought a house in SC and are in the…read moreprocess of moving from NY to SC. On my last trip down, towing a very fully loaded trailer behind my RAM Rebel 1500 pickup, At about 12 midnight, I had a trailer tire blow out just after gettin on I-77 from I-81. I called the I-81 travel plaza for roadside assistance. The mechanic on duty was Don. He arrived at my location a couple hours later as he was out on another service call when I called. He brought a new trailer tire, made sure my damaged rim was good after getting the blown tire off. It took him a while, but he got me back on the road and I arrived at my destination in SC safely. The service was GREAT, Don was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. If I had to find a negative something to comment on, it would be charging me $125 for a $76 tire, and $293 for the service. It is what it is and they know they have you by the short curly hairs in your nether region, so they really over charge you. Also, they do not take credit cards or checks, so they will follow you to the next exit and wait for you at the ATM. It can really be expected. I'm sure they've been screwed out of payment by so E people so they make sure you're not gonna beat them out of their due, even if it is exorbitant. Lesson learned: don't hit the road without a good spare and the proper tools. Would I recommend them? In a pinch, ABSOLUTELY. Don was awesome and very diligent about all his work. Thank you I-81 travel plaza and THANK YOU Don M.

They will rob you blind. I had a double blow out. called and the service guys that came out were…read moregreat. after all was said and done, they sent me a work order to sign. nothing on it. couldn't even open the invoice. then they sent the bill. they charged $3400 to change 2 tires. I've been in this business a long time and they tried to tell me I had a special tire. mind you I've been buying these 245/70/17.5 for low deck trailers for years. never paid $850 per tire. Stay away from these crooks. I was also told they gotta pay for all them expensive toys they keep buying. Crooks.

We stopped at the Tennessee Welcome Center on our way back home after a long road trip, and this…read morewas a great place to take a break. After spending so much time in the car, it was nice to get out, stretch our legs, use the restroom, and officially feel like we were getting closer to home. The entire welcome center was very clean and well maintained. The restrooms were especially clean, which is always one of the most important things I look for at a rest stop. Everything looked like it was being taken care of, and the facility had plenty of space. The staff we interacted with were friendly and welcoming. It is always nice when a state welcome center actually makes you feel welcomed, and that was definitely the case here. I also really enjoyed the inside of the building. This is more than just a place to stop and use the restroom. There are displays about Tennessee history, including information about the Civil War and Tennessee's role during that time. I enjoyed taking a few minutes to look through the exhibits before we continued our trip. The fireplace, rocking chairs, woodwork, and overall design give the building a comfortable Tennessee feel. There was also plenty of travel and tourism information available for anyone visiting the state or looking for something new to do. Overall, this was an excellent welcome center. Clean restrooms, friendly people, interesting Tennessee history, and a comfortable place to take a break. Definitely worth stopping at when traveling through Tennessee.

Clean, great walking area around outside, and clean inside. There is a sitting area on one side of…read morethe building and the restrooms on the other. The sitting area offers maps, rocking chairs, and a warm fire. In the center of the building as you're walking in you have someone sitting at the help center welcoming you in and security that walks the area. Bathrooms were clean, roomy, and the women's restroom offers a handicap stall with a sink and counter inside.
