Roadside Help

Roadside assistance in Atlanta. Often faster than a tow.

Many calls on this line are a dead battery, a flat tire, an empty tank or a locked key, not a full tow. A roadside call can get you back on the road and can cost less than a full tow. We line up roadside assistance across Metro Atlanta, from Downtown and Midtown out to Marietta, Decatur, Sandy Springs, Lawrenceville and Douglasville. Ask the operator what they have on the truck for your call: jump packs, spare tires, fuel cans and lockout tools. GDOT's Highway Emergency Response Operators also work the interstates clearing hazards, but they don't do repairs and they aren't a tow service.

Keys locked inside the vehicle in any city or suburban neighborhood
Stuck in a low-water crossing or soft ground (lightly)

What do drivers ask about roadside assistance?

Do you provide roadside assistance in Marietta, Decatur, Lawrenceville and other Atlanta-area communities?

Yes. Quick Tow Atlanta covers the whole metro for roadside assistance, from Downtown and Buckhead out to Marietta, Decatur, Sandy Springs, Lawrenceville and Douglasville. Arrival depends on where you are and which operator is free. Call (678) 379-5984. The assigned operator quotes the job before they roll.

Will a jump start fix my car?

If the battery is the only issue, you can often drive away after the engine is running. If the alternator is bad or the battery won't hold a charge, the operator quotes a tow to a shop. Ask what they see before they recommend a tow.

Can you change a tire on the Downtown Connector or I-285?

Usually, but if the flat is on the traffic side of the vehicle on an active interstate, the safer move is a short tow off the road to a safe lot and a tire swap there, quoted separately. The assigned operator confirms whether they can work that shoulder. GDOT's Highway Emergency Response Operators clear hazards and restore traffic flow. They don't repair vehicles and they don't tow them away.

How much fuel do you bring?

The assigned operator quotes how much fuel they can bring, gasoline or diesel, before they roll. That is usually enough to reach the nearest station. They don't fill the tank at roadside because of pricing and safety. Fuel is quoted as part of that job, not as a published pump-plus markup.

What if I need a tow after the roadside call?

If the roadside work doesn't solve it, we can line up a tow from the same call. You hear the tow quote before anyone is dispatched for that second job.
