Roadside assistance is a service provided by automotive clubs, insurance companies, and other organizations to assist motorists when their vehicle breaks down or encounters mechanical issues while on the road.
Typically, roadside assistance includes services such as:
- Towing: If your vehicle cannot be repaired on-site, roadside assistance providers will arrange for a tow truck to transport your vehicle to a nearby repair facility.
- Jump-start: If your vehicle’s battery is dead, roadside assistance can provide a jump-start to help you get back on the road.
- Flat tire assistance: Roadside assistance can help change a flat tire or provide inflating services to temporarily repair a punctured tire.
- Fuel delivery: If you run out of gas while driving, roadside assistance can deliver a small amount of fuel to help you reach the nearest gas station.
- Lockout service: If you accidentally lock your keys inside your vehicle, roadside assistance can help unlock the door to retrieve them.
Overall, roadside assistance offers peace of mind to drivers by providing prompt and convenient help when unexpected vehicle problems occur while traveling.
