Roadside Services We Bring to Royal Oak, MI
Battery jump starts
A dead battery is the most common roadside call in Royal Oak, 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 Royal Oak 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

What to Have Ready When You Call

- Gas or diesel, if you need fuel
