Roadside Help

Roadside assistance in Springfield. Often faster than a tow.

Most calls we get are not actual tows - they are a dead battery, a flat tire, an empty tank, or a locked key. A 20-minute roadside call gets you back on the road and usually saves the full tow fee. We line up roadside assistance across the Springfield metro, including Downtown, MSU Area, and every community in between, out to Nixa, Ozark, and the Branson corridor. The operators we send stock jump packs, spare tires, fuel cans, and lockout tools. MoDOT's Motorist Assist / Emergency Response patrol also works area freeways for hazard clearing, but it does not do repairs and it is not a tow service, that is where a tow call comes in, especially in the pre-dawn hours when Cox South and Mercy's overnight shifts and Prime Inc.'s trucking dispatch keep real traffic moving.

Flat tire change with spare or donut
Emergency fuel delivery (gas and diesel, quantity quoted on the call)

Not sure if you need a tow yet - need a pro look

What do drivers ask about roadside assistance?

Do you provide roadside assistance in Nixa, Branson, and other Springfield-area communities?

Yes - Quick Tow Springfield covers the whole metro for roadside assistance, including Downtown, Nixa, Ozark, and Branson. The urban core is quicker to reach than Bolivar, Monett, or the far edges of the Branson corridor, so the honest answer depends on where you are. Call (417) 221-8911 and the operator gives you a window for your exact location.

Will a jump start fix my car?

If the battery is the only issue, yes, usually you can drive away after 10 minutes of idle. If the alternator is bad or the battery will not hold a charge, the operator tows you to a shop. We diagnose before recommending; you get honesty, not a sales pitch for the tow.

Can you change a tire on I-44 or US-65?

Usually, but if the flat is on the traffic side of the vehicle on an active highway, the safer move is a short tow off the road to a safe lot and a tire swap there. I-44 through the Glenstone-to-Kansas Expressway segment alone carries more than 65,000 vehicles a day, so a roadside tire change there is genuinely risky. MoDOT's Motorist Assist / Emergency Response patrol can also help clear you from the live lane while the operator is en route.

How much fuel do you bring?

Fuel delivery exists. How much fuel the operator brings is quoted on the call. That is enough to get you to the nearest station. Operators do not fill the tank at roadside because of pricing and safety.

What if I need a tow after the roadside call?

If the roadside work does not solve it, the tow is dispatched from the same call, no second response fee. You pay the tow rate; the roadside call is bundled.
