ON-SITE ROADSIDE SOLUTIONS

Emergency Roadside Assistance

Not every vehicle disablement requires a tow. We provide prompt, on-scene solutions for dead batteries, flat tires, lockouts, and empty fuel tanks to get you safely moving again.

Service Overview

When a small issue leaves you stranded on the shoulder, waiting hours for an unverified service can be aggravating and dangerous. Long's Towing & Recovery operates fully-outfitted roadside units capable of resolving minor immobilizations right where your vehicle sits.

If the problem cannot be resolved safely on-site—such as an unrepairable sidewall blowout without a spare, or an alternator that won't hold charge—our roadside service trucks can seamlessly convert to a flatbed tow, eliminating the hassle of coordinating multiple calls.

When You Need Roadside Assistance

  • Dead or Weak Battery: Clicking starter or zero electrical power requiring commercial 12V/24V jump-start.
  • Punctured or Blown Tire: Need your functional spare tire mounted safely away from oncoming highway traffic.
  • Vehicle Lockout: Keys accidentally locked inside the passenger cabin or trunk.
  • Out of Fuel: Emergency delivery of gasoline or diesel to reach the nearest fueling station.

What to Expect When We Arrive

Our technician positions the service truck behind your vehicle to create a safety barrier, illuminating amber safety strobes. The operator assesses the issue, discusses the repair steps with you, and executes the fix using professional equipment.

For tire changes, wheel lug nuts are hand-torqued to manufacturer specifications. For battery jump-starts, surge-protected commercial cables prevent damage to sensitive vehicle control modules (ECUs).

Equipment & Technical Tools

  • Commercial Surge-Protected Jump Packs: Safe starting power for heavy-duty V8 trucks, hybrids, and passenger cars.
  • High-Capacity Hydraulic Jacks & Impact Wrenches: Rapid, safe wheel removal on shoulder pavement.
  • Damage-Free Inflatable Lockout Wedges: Gentle door seal entry without scratching paint or tearing weatherstripping.

Roadside Assistance FAQ

What if my spare tire is flat or missing?
If your spare tire is unusable or missing, our operator can immediately convert the call into a flatbed tow and transport your vehicle to a reputable tire center or your preferred mechanic.
Will a jump start damage my vehicle's electronics?
No. We use professional-grade commercial boost equipment featuring built-in reverse-polarity and voltage-spike suppression to protect vehicle ECUs and modern electronics.
