Roadside assistance. Often faster than a tow.
Most calls we get are not actual tows - they are a dead battery, a flat tire, an empty tank, or a locked key. A 20-minute roadside call gets you back on the road and usually saves the full tow fee. We stock everything on the truck: jump packs, spare tires, fuel cans, and lockout tools.
What's included in this service?
- Jump start with high-capacity jump pack (no cables needed)
- Flat tire change with spare or donut
- Emergency fuel delivery (gas and diesel, 2-gallon minimum)
- Vehicle lockout (standard sedans, trucks, SUVs)
- Winch-out from soft shoulder, sand, or mud (short)
- Tire plug service when sidewall is intact
- Diagnostic check for next-step decision (tow or not)
- AAA / Allstate / USAA dispatched roadside
When do you need this service?
- Battery is dead and will not crank
- Flat tire and cannot safely change it on the shoulder
- Ran out of gas between stations
- Keys locked inside the vehicle
- Stuck in sand or mud (lightly)
- Tire pressure warning and no air available
- Not sure if you need a tow yet - need a pro look
What do homeowners ask about Roadside Help?
Will a jump start fix my car?
If the battery is the only issue, yes - usually you can drive away after 10 minutes of idle. If the alternator is bad or the battery will not hold a charge, we will tow you to a shop. We diagnose before recommending; you get honesty, not a sales pitch for the tow.
Can you change a tire on the freeway?
We can. But if the flat is on the traffic side of the vehicle on an active freeway, the safer move is a short tow off the freeway to a safe lot where we swap the tire. Freeway shoulders are dangerous for tire work; CHP often shuts a lane to allow it.
How much fuel do you bring?
We bring 2 gallons of gasoline or diesel minimum. That is enough to get you to the nearest station - we do not fill the tank at roadside because of pricing and safety. Fuel is charged at cost plus a small service surcharge.
Can you unlock my car?
Yes, for standard GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and most sedans. Modern vehicles with transponder keys sometimes need a locksmith or dealer - we'll tell you on the phone whether we can help or whether you need a locksmith.
What if I need a tow after the roadside call?
If the roadside work does not solve it, the tow is dispatched from the same call - no second response fee. You pay the tow rate; the roadside call is bundled.

Broke down on the 5 at 1 a.m. Dispatcher answered on the first ring, gave me a real ETA, and the flatbed showed up 35 minutes later. Driver walked me through the load and I was home by 3. Exactly what I needed.
Our 26-foot rental truck died halfway through a move. Called three companies; Quick Tow was the only one who picked up. Heavy wrecker was onsite in under an hour and they dropped the truck exactly where we needed.
Model Y wouldn't shift out of park. They rolled up with a low-clearance flatbed, knew exactly what button combo puts it in transport mode, loaded with soft straps. No drama, no scratches, no nonsense.
