As a new female driver, I have to agree with the majority that road service is a driver’s best companion on the roadways. Road service programs are offered in part with a number of other services such as vehicle insurance and vehicle warranties. Road service programs also vary from state to state, and country to country. Road service programs can even vary from dealer to dealer within the same city!Â
While some providers offer road service packages that can be adjusted into tailored packages to meet the driver’s needs or demands, most are fixed into specific packages which are available on choice.Â
Some road service packages would offer a comprehensive range of services to its customers for a premium price. Others would include smaller package deals at economy prices that customers can choose from.Â
Generally, a driver should think twice about taking a road service package based solely on its price – the cheapest package may be of no use whatsoever to the driver. Even the most basic road service package should contain a toll free number that you can call for assistance, a twenty four hour assistance hotline, towing assistance and the basic range of shut down assistance such as battery jump starts, water and gas delivery, and even lockout assistance. Â

Â
Most road service programs are available in a variety of packages that you can choose from instead of a single fixed roadside assistance options. Almost all road service programs however require memberships with fees paid either monthly or upon registration or both.
Â
You can choose a road service program that covers only your car in case of emergencies, or one that covers all the vehicles in your home. Your road service program can cover only the vehicle owner (similar to insurance coverage) or it can cover your vehicle regardless of the person driving. You may also choose to cover your vehicle within a specified radius, or choose a package that allows you to call for assistance even if you are out of state. Some road service packages include discount services for its members at select merchants, or coupon packs that can be redeemed at specified locations. Even membership discounts that are used as promotional incentives every time you renew your membership are offered with some road service programs.Â
Â
Road service programs can also be specifically tailored to meet the needs and requests of individuals who cannot find a single package deal to suit their own needs.Â

Auto road service simply means roadside assistance when you run into problems with your car while driving. Some of the most common problems that people experience on the roads include tire blowouts, radiator overheating, and even running out of gas!
Most guys can change a tire for themselves, but no one wants to get down on the ground to change a tire in a clean business suit while on the way to a conference or in a two hundred dollar outfit while on the way to the most talked about event for the year! It is much more convenient to simply call your auto road service for roadside assistance and wait in your car until the auto road service team gets there.
Auto road service is even better for women, especially young women or moms. Indeed, most women do not know how to change a flat tire or even the first thing about the inside of their car’s hood! The best advice you could give to a woman driver is to make sure that she invests in an auto road service – even if she does know a thing or two about cars, she is still a much easier target when stranded alone on any roadway.

Auto road services is today one of the biggest service industries throughout the world. The automotive market has increased exponentially over the last few years. This has mostly been due to the increase in the standards of living throughout the world. Indeed, everyone nowadays wants their own vehicle. No one wants to travel through the suburbs or crowded buses any more – especially the majority of young adults now taking the work forces in every country and nation by storm!
Â
The auto road service industry is closely associated with both insurance companies and the used and new car warranty companies. Extended warranty services also utilize the services provided by auto road service providers. Most times, when an individual purchases a new car with a warranty, roadside assistance becomes a part of the coverage provided within the warranty. Large-scale industry manufacturers cannot and will not often respond in a timely manner to emergency calls for assistance, therefore auto road service providers who are better positioned to reliably respond to calls for roadside assistance are privately contracted on behalf of the large industry. Other warranty providers and insurance companies work the same way.

When you utter the word ‘emergency’, what strikes you first? An accident? A sudden panic? An unexpected event? The word ‘emergency’ makes us nervous. But the word has completely different meaning when it is added as a prefix to ‘road services’. ‘Emergency road services’ is the title given to the services provided by certain organizations that take good care of our vehicles when they incur any accidents like mechanical breakdowns on road.
Suppose you are driving your car on the highway. Suddenly your car stops and you realize it cannot go further until particular repairs are done. But you are unable to perform such repairs. So what do you do? Get tense? Perspire? Shout at the dealer of your car? Yell at your own misfortune? The solution is simple if you are a member of an organization that provides emergency road services. Just dial a toll free number from your cell phone. And within a short period of time, help is ready for you. Mechanical repairs, towing, inspections, – all are covered by emergency road services.

Road service has become a luxury convenience for most persons who choose to invest heavily in such programs. While new cars which are purchased straight off the dealer’s lot already come with road service features. Almost all other drivers or vehicle owners must purchase their road service from independent dealers.
Â
The road service that comes with the purchase of a new car is one that is incorporated into the warranty contract for the car. In most instances, as long as the new car warranty is valid, so is the roadside service offered to the vehicle owner – even if the vehicle has changed ownership hands. Roadside service offered through large car manufacturers and dealers are often contracted out to smaller service providers who are better prepared to deal with emergency assistance calls on short notices – it is noted that a larger company takes almost two times as long to respond to any call than do the smaller service providers. Manufacturers however, specify that vehicles must be serviced only at provided locations, which make it difficult to fix your vehicle every time you call in an emergency. The good thing, is that manufacturer usually covers the cost of repairs (check your warranty carefully).
