Breakdowns can happen at any time, leaving you stranded with a malfunctioning vehicle. Luckily, roadside assistance can come to your rescue whenever you have an emergency. Below are some of the ways in which this invaluable service can help you.

How Roadside Assistance Can Help With Car Trouble

1. Change a Flat Tire

If you don’t know how to fix a flat yourself or don’t have the tools you need to change it—you can call on roadside assistance for speedy help. They’ll replace your tire with a spare so that you can safely drive home or to an auto shop to get a new tire. 

2. Jumpstart a Dead Battery

Whether you left the headlights on while parked, or your car stalled out while you were driving, roadside assistance will get your vehicle moving again when your battery dies. However, it’s important to remember that this isn’t a permanent fix—you’ll need to replace your old battery ASAP to ensure that you don’t get stuck again.

3. Unlock Your Car

Getting locked out of your car while you’re in unfamiliar territory can be frustrating and frightening, especially at night. Thankfully, you don’t have to waste time hunting for a local locksmith that may not even be open or able to help. Roadside assistance can either unlock your car for you or provide a tow to the nearest auto shop for lockout services.

4. Deliver Fuel

If you run out of gas in the middle of nowhere, then you should call roadside assistance. They’ll bring you enough fuel to get your car to the nearest gas station so that you can fill it up and be on your way.

5. Tow Your Vehicle

If your car’s problem can’t be solved on the spot, or if you get into a car accident and your vehicle is seriously damaged, roadside assistance will tow your car to the nearest mechanic to be examined and (hopefully) repaired.
