Roadside Assistance
Fast help for minor car troubles like flat tires, dead batteries, and lockouts so you can get back on the road quickly.
What Roadside Assistance Includes
Roadside assistance is help for the small problems that can happen to any driver. You do not always need a full tow when something goes wrong. Sometimes all you need is a jump start, a tire change, or help getting into your locked car. That is where our tow service comes in.
At HyperFix Des Moines Towing, we offer a full range of roadside services to help you avoid an expensive tow or a long wait on the side of the road. Here is what we can do for you:
- ✓Jump starts: Dead battery? We bring the cables and get your car running again.
- ✓Tire changes: Flat tire? We swap it out with your spare so you can keep going.
- ✓Fuel delivery: Ran out of gas? We bring you enough fuel to reach the nearest station.
- ✓Lockout service: Keys locked in your car? We can help you get back inside safely.
- ✓Minor repairs: Small fixes that can be done on the spot to get you moving again.
Our goal is to solve your problem right where you are, so you do not have to deal with the hassle and cost of a full tow. If we cannot fix the issue on the spot, we can always switch to emergency towing and get your vehicle to a repair shop.
Why Roadside Assistance Saves You Time and Money
Most people think they need a tow truck every time something goes wrong with their car. But the truth is, many common car problems can be fixed in just a few minutes without towing your vehicle anywhere. Here is why roadside assistance is often the smarter choice.
Faster Than a Full Tow
When you call for roadside assistance, our technician can often solve the problem in less time than it would take to load your car onto a tow truck and drive it to a shop. A jump start takes about 5 minutes. A tire change takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Compare that to waiting for a tow, driving to a mechanic, waiting for a diagnosis, and then waiting for repairs. Roadside assistance gets you back on the road right away.
Costs Less Than a Tow and Repair
Roadside assistance is more affordable than a full tow. If your problem can be fixed on the spot, you avoid paying for a tow and possibly avoid a repair bill too. Even if you do end up needing a tow later, trying roadside assistance first can save you money if the issue turns out to be simple.
Less Stressful
Being stranded is stressful enough. Roadside assistance reduces that stress by solving your problem quickly and getting you back on your way. You do not have to coordinate with a repair shop, arrange a ride home, or wait days for your car to be fixed. In many cases, you are back on the road in under 30 minutes from the time you call us.
Common Roadside Problems We Handle
Dead Battery
A dead battery is one of the most common reasons drivers call for help. It can happen because you left your lights on, your battery is old, or the alternator is failing. Whatever the cause, we bring our jumper cables and get your engine started again. If your battery is too far gone, we can recommend a nearby shop where you can get a replacement.
Flat Tire
Getting a flat tire is frustrating, especially if you do not have the tools or experience to change it yourself. We carry all the equipment needed to swap your flat tire with your spare in just a few minutes. If you do not have a spare or your spare is also flat, we can tow your car to a nearby tire shop to get it repaired or replaced.
Locked Out of Your Car
Locking your keys inside your car happens to everyone at some point. Instead of breaking a window or waiting hours for help, call us. We can help you get back into your vehicle safely and quickly without causing any damage. This service is especially handy if you have kids or pets locked inside and need immediate access.
Out of Gas
Running out of gas is more common than you might think, especially on long drives or when your fuel gauge is not working properly. If you find yourself stuck on empty, we can deliver enough fuel to get you to the nearest gas station. This saves you from having to walk miles to find a gas station or wait for a friend to bring you fuel.
