Check what you already pay for
Roadside coverage on your auto policy, a motor club, a credit card benefit, or the plan that came with a newer car's warranty. These often send someone for free or a flat fee. In a busy week the wait can be long, so ask for an estimate and decide whether it beats paying.
When it's really a tow
A car that won't start after a jump needs a tow. So does one that is leaking or overheating, or that was in a crash. Paying for a jump first and a tow after is the expensive way to learn that. Towing.
Questions people in Orlando ask
Can roadside help fix a tire on the spot?
Usually they put on your spare. A patch or a new tire happens at a tire shop. If there's no usable spare, it becomes a tow.
What do Road Rangers do?
