Always There Roadside Assistance - other minor roadside repairs

Minor roadside repairs, excluding battery jumps and fuel delivery, are a core service provided by Always There Roadside Assistance. We focus on resolving issues on the scene, minimizing disruption and getting you back on the road without the need for a tow to a repair shop whenever possible.

Here's an outline of the common minor roadside repairs Always There Roadside Assistance can help with:

  • Tire Services:

    • Flat Tire Change: Our technicians can quickly and safely replace your punctured or deflated tire with your vehicle's spare.

    • Tire Inflation: We can add air to under-inflated tires, which can be a temporary solution for slow leaks or environmental factors, helping you reach a service station.

    • On-Site Tire Plug/Patch (if feasible): For small, accessible punctures, Always There Roadside Assistance may be able to perform a temporary plug or patch to get you moving.

  • Fluid Top-Offs (excluding fuel):

    • Coolant Top-Off: If your engine is overheating, we can add coolant to potentially provide a temporary fix to reach a repair facility.

    • Oil Top-Off: Our team can add engine oil if levels are low, helping to prevent further engine damage.

    • Brake Fluid Top-Off: While this often indicates a more serious underlying issue, Always There Roadside Assistance can add brake fluid if levels are low to assist in getting to a repair shop.

    • Windshield Washer Fluid: For improved visibility, we can replenish your windshield washer fluid.

  • Minor Mechanical Adjustments/Troubleshooting:

    • Belt Inspection/Adjustment (if accessible and simple): Our technicians can check for loose or broken belts (e.g., serpentine belt) and make minor, safe adjustments.

    • Hose Connection Reattachment: We can reattach loose hoses, such as a vacuum hose, that might be causing a vehicle issue.

    • Wiper Blade Replacement: For clear vision in inclement weather, Always There Roadside Assistance can replace worn or damaged wiper blades.

    • Headlight/Taillight Bulb Replacement (if easily accessible): We can replace burnt-out bulbs if it's a quick and straightforward swap.

    • Loose Battery Terminal Tightening: If loose battery terminals are causing intermittent electrical problems, our team can tighten them (distinct from a jump-start for a dead battery).

  • Lockout Services:

    • If you've accidentally locked your keys inside your vehicle, Always There Roadside Assistance can assist with professional vehicle entry.

  • Overheating Diagnosis (Initial):

    • While not always a full repair, our roadside technicians can perform an initial assessment of an overheating engine to advise if it's safe to drive a short distance or if a tow is immediately necessary.

At Always There Roadside Assistance, our goal is to provide efficient and effective minor roadside repairs to get you back on your way with minimal hassle.
