What to Do When Your Car Breaks Down
Finding yourself stuck on a highway or in the middle of a busy city road can be stressful. The first step is to ensure your safety and the safety of your passengers. Here’s how you can handle the situation:
- Move your vehicle to a safe spot, if possible.
- Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers.
- Stay inside your car, especially if you are on a highway, like the Mumbai–Pune Expressway or Yamuna Expressway.

How to Book a Towing Service with RoadServe
Booking a towing service is simple and convenient with the RoadServe app:
- Open the RoadServe app and select the 'Towing' service.

Using the app ensures you get a trained professional and a well-maintained tow truck, avoiding the risks of random local service providers.
Understanding Your Towing Options
Different situations require different towing solutions. Here’s when to choose a flatbed over a hook and chain:
Flatbed Towing
Flatbed towing is ideal for luxury cars, SUVs, and vehicles with all-wheel drive. It prevents damage by keeping all wheels off the ground.
Hook and Chain Towing
This method is suitable for short distances and older vehicles. However, it may cause wear and tear if not done correctly.
Expected Arrival Time and Safety Tips
RoadServe aims to reach you within 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic and location. While waiting, keep the following safety tips in mind:
- Stay inside your vehicle with seatbelts fastened.
- Keep your phone charged to communicate with the service provider.
- Be aware of your surroundings and avoid engaging with strangers.
Towing Service Pricing in India
Several factors influence the cost of towing services, including:
- Distance: Charges typically increase with distance covered.
- Time: Night services may incur additional costs.
- Location: Highway towing is often more expensive due to accessibility challenges.
RoadServe offers competitive pricing with no hidden charges, providing a transparent service.
