7 days, 7 AM – 7 PM. Outside those hours, use your insurer's or card's roadside service.
Turn on your hazard lights. If you can, coast onto the shoulder, a side street or a parking lot. On a highway, get everyone out on the side away from traffic and stand behind a barrier if there is one. If you're in a travel lane or anywhere you feel unsafe, call 911 first. We'll call you back the moment you're clear.
The calls we get most
Battery failures, flat tires and keys locked inside are the top three reasons drivers call for roadside help, according to AAA. More than half a million drivers a year simply run out of fuel.
Jump start
$75Car clicks or won't crank because the battery is flat. We jump it with a professional jump pack, then test the battery and charging system so you know whether it will start again tomorrow.
Fuel delivery
$65 + fuelRan out of gas or diesel. We bring enough to get you to a station, at the pump price, and prime the system if the engine needs help restarting.
Flat tire, spare installed
$75We swap the flat for your spare, set the spare's pressure and torque the lug nuts to spec. Locking lug nut key missing? We can usually remove them.
Tire plug and inflate
$85A nail or screw in the tread, with no spare or a spare you'd rather not run on. We plug and inflate it on the spot when the puncture is repairable, and tell you when it isn't.
Battery replaced on the spot
from $170If the battery is done, we bring the right one for your car, install it, register it where the car requires that, and recycle the old one.
Lockout help
$85Keys locked inside. We open most cars without damage. Some newer cars with deadlocks or laser-cut keys need a locksmith or dealer, and we'll tell you that up front.
Quick fixes on site
$95 + partsBlown fuse, loose or corroded battery cable, broken serpentine belt, coolant leak top-off, a dead key-fob battery, a failed headlight or wiper. If it can be fixed where it sits, we fix it.
Wrong fuel in the tank
quoted on callPut gas in a diesel or diesel in a gas car? Don't start the engine. Call us before you turn the key.
Prices are flat rates for a call within our service area during business hours, and include the trip. Parts and fuel are extra at cost.
A jump gets you started. Knowing why keeps you going.
A tow driver can jump a battery or change a tire. A mechanic can also tell you why the battery died: an old battery, a failing alternator or something draining it overnight. That way you aren't stranded again tomorrow morning.
- Battery and charging-system test after every jump start
- A quick look for the cause of a flat or a breakdown, not just the symptom
- If it needs a real repair, a price on the spot, often done the same visit
- If it can't be fixed where it sits, we tell you and help you arrange a tow
A few special cases
- Electric and hybrid cars. A jump can't charge the main battery. But many "dead" EVs and hybrids just have a flat 12-volt battery, the small one that runs the electronics, and that we can jump or replace.
- Push-button start, no response. Try holding the fob right against the start button; many cars read a fob with a dead battery that way. Then call us for a new fob battery.
- Wrong fuel. Don't start the engine or even switch the ignition on. Running it pumps the wrong fuel through the system and turns a drain-and-flush into a much bigger repair.
- Overheating. Pull over and shut the engine off. Never open a hot radiator cap. We'll find the leak or failed part and tell you if it's safe to drive.
- Already have roadside coverage? Many insurance policies and credit cards include it. If they quote a long wait, or you want a mechanic to look at why it happened, call us.

Most breakdowns give a warning first
AAA found that millions of roadside breakdowns each year could be prevented with basic maintenance. Two-thirds of drivers have never had their battery tested before it failed, and 60% don't check their tire pressure regularly.
A maintenance plan includes battery load tests and tire checks at every visit, so the weak battery gets replaced in your driveway instead of dying in a parking lot.
