Roadside Assistance in Royal Oak, MI

What Our Roadside Assistance Covers

Our roadside service handles the small emergencies that leave drivers stranded. That includes battery jumpstarts, flat tire changes, fuel delivery, and car lockouts. Each one is quick when the right person shows up with the right equipment, and most are finished in a matter of minutes once we arrive. If we find the car needs more than a quick fix, we will say so plainly and offer a tow instead of leaving you guessing.

Dead Batteries and Jumpstarts

Michigan winters are rough on batteries. A cold snap can drain a battery that worked fine the day before, and an older one may quit without any warning. Our drivers bring a professional jumpstart unit that delivers steady power without risking your car’s electronics, which is safer than borrowed cables and a guess about which terminal goes where. Once the engine is running, we recommend letting it idle and then driving for a while so the battery recharges. If the battery will not hold a charge at all, it likely needs to be replaced, and we can tow you to a shop.

Flat Tires

A flat on a busy road is stressful, and changing a tire next to traffic is not something we want you to try. Our driver will put your spare on safely, check that the lug nuts are snug, and make sure the spare has enough air to get you to a tire shop. If you do not have a spare, or the damage is too big for a quick swap, we can tow the vehicle to a repair shop. Spring potholes cause plenty of flats around here, so we see these calls often.

Car Lockouts

It happens at the grocery store, outside the Farmers Market, and in your own driveway. When your keys are locked inside, call us before you reach for a coat hanger, which can scratch paint and damage the door seals. We use proper lockout tools designed to open the door without harming the lock, the window, or the finish. Have your ID ready, since we will need to confirm the vehicle is yours.

Fuel Delivery

Running out of gas is more common than people admit, especially on a long stretch of I-696 or I-75 during rush hour. We can bring enough fuel to get you moving again and to the nearest station. Let us know whether your vehicle takes gasoline or diesel when you call, since putting in the wrong fuel causes serious engine trouble.

Where We Help in Royal Oak

We respond to parking lots near Main Street and Washington Avenue, driveways in the neighborhoods off 11 Mile and 13 Mile Road, and roadside spots along Woodward Avenue. We also help drivers in Berkley, Clawson, Ferndale, Huntington Woods, Madison Heights, and Troy. Wherever your car gives up, tell us the closest cross streets or a nearby landmark and we will find you.

Staying Safe While You Wait

If you are on a busy road, turn on your hazard lights and stay inside the vehicle with your seatbelt on unless it is unsafe to do so. On a highway shoulder, get as far from moving traffic as you can. In a parking lot, stand somewhere visible and away from the car’s travel lane. We will keep you updated on our arrival time so you know what to expect.

What Roadside Assistance Costs

The price depends on the service, your location, and the time of day. We give you the number before we dispatch a truck, and we explain it clearly so there are no surprises when the job is done.
