About Ozark Roadside

Ozark Roadside began in the Ozarks and coordinates 24/7 towing, roadside assistance, and vehicle recovery requests across the United States.

Services coordinated

Ozark Roadside handles requests for:

  • Towing for disabled, damaged, or unsafe vehicles.
  • Jump starts and compatible battery assistance.
  • Flat tire changes when a safe and usable spare is available.
  • Vehicle lockout assistance using a method appropriate for the vehicle and conditions.
  • Gasoline or diesel delivery when a vehicle runs out of fuel.
  • Recovery for stuck, immobilized, or inaccessible vehicles.

A roadside repair is not appropriate in every situation. Towing may be required when the vehicle cannot be started, a spare tire is unavailable or unsafe, the roadside location is hazardous, the wheel or vehicle is damaged, or specialized equipment is needed.

How a service request is handled

Dispatch gathers the driver's location, vehicle information, problem description, access conditions, safety concerns, and towing destination when applicable. Those details are used to determine the likely service type and the equipment required.

The assigned service, estimated arrival window, and price depend on current provider availability, vehicle requirements, traffic, weather, road conditions, access restrictions, and demand. Insurance, motor-club, fleet, or roadside-benefit coverage may require authorization under the terms of the driver's plan.

Information drivers should provide

For a service request, provide:

  • A street address, business name, highway and direction, nearest exit, cross street, mile marker, or map pin.
  • Vehicle year, make, model, color, and approximate size.
  • Symptoms, warning messages, visible damage, and whether the vehicle can move.
  • Whether the vehicle is in active traffic, on a shoulder, behind a gate, in a parking structure, or in another restricted location.
  • The number of passengers and any immediate safety issue.
  • A requested destination when towing may be necessary.

Safety

Call 911 before roadside dispatch when anyone is injured, the vehicle is blocking an active traffic lane, there is a fire or fuel leak, or the situation presents an immediate danger. Move the vehicle only when it can be done safely, use hazard lights, and remain in the safest available location while waiting.

For active towing or roadside assistance, call (888) 375-9792.
