Roadside Services We Bring to Birmingham, MI
Battery jump starts
A dead battery is the most common roadside call in Birmingham, especially after cold nights or when a car has sat for days. Our technician connects a professional jump pack, starts the engine and checks that it keeps running. If the battery will not hold a charge, we tell you so you can replace it instead of getting stranded again.
Car door lockouts
Keys locked in the car are a quick fix for our technicians. We open the door with professional tools that do not damage the lock or the paint, so you are back in the vehicle without a locksmith appointment.
Flat tire changes
We change a flat at the roadside using your inflated spare. If the spare is flat too, or the tire is damaged beyond a swap, we can tow the vehicle from Birmingham to a tire shop of your choice.
Fuel and gas delivery
Ran out of gas? We bring enough fuel to get you to the nearest station. Tell dispatch whether the vehicle takes gas or diesel so the right fuel is on the truck.
Winch-outs and recovery
Vehicles that slide into a ditch, get stuck in snow or mud or end up off the pavement are recovered with winching and the right equipment, without damaging the vehicle. Tell dispatch what it is stuck in and how it sits.
How a Roadside Call Works
- Call 313-837-7777 or use Send Location so dispatch has your exact position.
- The dispatcher confirms your vehicle and the problem and gives you an estimate of cost and arrival time.
- A technician arrives with the equipment for the job and fixes the problem on the spot.
- If it cannot be fixed at the roadside, we tow the vehicle to the shop or address you choose.
What to Have Ready When You Call
- Your location: street address, cross streets or mile marker
- Year, make, model and color of the vehicle
- What happened: flat tire, dead battery, no fuel or locked out
- Whether the keys are inside the vehicle
- Gas or diesel, if you need fuel
- A phone number where the technician can reach you
If you are on a busy road in Birmingham, turn on your hazard lights and stay in the vehicle with your seat belt on unless it is unsafe. Dispatch can stay on the line with you until help arrives.
