Roadside Help
Roadside assistance in Houston, near you.
Many callers don’t need a tow. Their battery is dead, tire is flat, tank is empty, or key is locked inside. Roadside service lasting 20 minutes can get them moving without a full tow. Assistance is available throughout metro Houston, from Downtown, the East End, Spring Branch, Gulfton, Pasadena, and Katy to every neighborhood between them. Independent operators matched through the referral line carry jump packs, spare tires, fuel cans, and lockout tools.
What's included in this service?
- High-capacity jump pack start without cables
- Flat tire change with spare or donut
- Emergency gas or diesel delivery, 2-gallon minimum
- Vehicle lockout (standard sedans, trucks, SUVs)
- Short winch-out from mud, sand, or a soft shoulder
- Tire plug service when sidewall is intact
- Diagnostic assessment to decide the next step, tow or no tow
- Pay-per-call - no membership required
When do you need this service?

Houston questions about Roadside Help
Is roadside assistance available in the East End, Gulfton, and other Houston neighborhoods?
Yes. Tow Pro Houston matches callers with roadside assistance operators throughout metro Houston, including Montrose, the West Side, Downtown, Gulfton, the East Side, the East End, Katy, Pasadena, Aldine, Spring Branch, and Channelview. Call (346) 443-5499 to connect with the independent operator accepting the job.
Will a jump start fix my car?
Yes, if the battery is the sole problem, you can usually leave after idling for 10 minutes. When the alternator has failed or the battery cannot retain a charge, the matched independent professional can transport the vehicle to a shop. They check the problem first and recommend service without pushing an unnecessary tow.
Can you change a tire on the freeway?
Yes. If the flat tire faces active freeway traffic, however, the safer option is for the matched independent operator to move the vehicle a short distance to a safe lot before changing it. Working on a tire along a freeway shoulder is dangerous.
How much fuel do you bring?
The matched operator arrives with at least 2 gallons of gasoline or diesel. It is enough fuel to reach the closest station. For safety and pricing reasons, roadside tank fills aren’t provided. Your total includes the service call and the fuel.
What if I need a tow after the roadside call?
When roadside service doesn’t fix the issue, the same call can arrange an independent operator for transport. The operator quotes the standard rate before dispatch. Ask the dispatcher how pricing works when both services are combined.
