Roadside assistance for small business vehicles

For a contractor, plumber, HVAC tech, or small delivery operation, the vehicle isn't just transportation — it's the tool that gets the job done that day. A flat tire on the way to a job site or a dead battery in a client's driveway doesn't just cost the repair, it costs the appointment, the day's schedule, and sometimes the client's patience.

Why one bad morning shouldn't wreck the week

Small business vehicles rack up hard miles — loaded with tools and equipment, parked on job sites with rough access, and driven by whoever's available that day. That wear shows up as tire damage, battery strain from constant short trips between stops, and the occasional lockout when hands are full carrying equipment.

The goal on a job day isn't a perfect fix, it's getting back to work fast. A $49 flat service call for a jumpstart, tire change, tire repair, or lockout gets a van or truck moving again without a trip to a shop that eats the rest of the day.

Booking from a job site

Job sites are often harder to pin than a normal address — a driveway mid-construction, a lot behind a building, or a rural property without a clear street number. Drop the pin as close as you can and add landmarks or gate codes in the notes so the provider doesn't waste time finding the vehicle.

If the vehicle is loaded with tools or inventory, mention that in the notes too — it can affect where the provider parks to work safely around it.

Cost without a service contract

$49 flat per incident means a small business isn't paying for a fleet contract sized for a business twice its size. A replacement tire or battery is quoted separately so there's no surprise bill, and towing is $75 for the first 4 miles plus $19 per additional mile if the vehicle needs a shop.

For a business running one or two vehicles, paying per incident is usually more practical than a membership-style plan sized for a larger operation.

FAQ

Can I book for a work van that's parked at a client's site?

Yes. Drop the pin at the site and add landmarks, gate codes, or the client's address in the notes so the provider can find it.

Is there a business account or is it just per job?

It's booked and paid per job at $49 flat — there's no contract to sign up for in advance.

What if the vehicle is full of tools or inventory?

Mention that in your booking notes — the provider can plan where to safely access the vehicle around a load.
