Service board
What we handle in Detroit
Eight roadside jobs, one number: mobile tire repair, flat tire changes, jump starts, battery replacement, lockouts, fuel delivery, winch-outs and general roadside help. Each one is quoted on the call from your location, the vehicle and the hour, and the price holds when the truck arrives. No tow trucks on this line.
Typical prices
What roadside help costs in Detroit
A jump start in Detroit usually runs $50 to $90, a spare tire change $55 to $95, a mobile tire repair $60 to $110 and a lockout $60 to $120. These are the ranges Detroit drivers should expect. Your exact number is given on the call, before the truck leaves, and it does not change on scene unless the job does.
Night, freeway and winter calls sit at the top of each range because the truck drives farther and works beside traffic. A driveway call in the afternoon sits at the bottom. What moves the price, and whether a membership is worth it.

Corridors
Where the calls come from
Most Detroit roadside calls come off I-94 between the airport and the east side, I-75 through downtown, the Lodge, and the Southfield Freeway through Dearborn. The sunken freeways downtown have almost no shoulder, so tell dispatch the nearest exit and stay belted in with the hazards on.

Do you come out at night and on holidays?

Most calls come after dark, when the shops on Michigan Avenue and Gratiot are closed and the tire places are locked up.

Can you reach me on the Lodge or I-94 downtown?
Yes. The Lodge, I-94 through Midtown, I-75 past the stadiums and the Ambassador Bridge approach are all inside the core area. Get as far right as you can, hazards on, and stay belted in on the sunken freeways where there is no shoulder to stand on. Give dispatch the nearest exit number or the overpass you can see.
Do you cover Dearborn, Livonia, Westland and Taylor?
Yes. Detroit is home base, and the same trucks run Dearborn, Livonia, Westland, Canton, Taylor and Southfield. Detroit and Dearborn are the base rate. The farther suburbs add a few base miles, which dispatch tells you up front, before you decide.
