Call live Kansas City dispatch at 816-588-8888 for current availability.
Tommy's Road Rescue accepts roadside-assistance requests throughout the Greater Kansas City area. Roadside help can solve some common no-move situations without towing; live dispatch first checks the problem, exact location, lawful service authority, vehicle, access, availability, price, and whether the scene is safe enough for roadside work.
A jump start may help a vehicle with a depleted 12-volt battery. Tell dispatch about warning lights, clicking, recent battery trouble, and whether the vehicle is gasoline, diesel, hybrid, or electric. Battery, starter, alternator, wiring, or other faults may still require towing.
A roadside spare change requires a compatible, usable spare, the wheel-lock key when applicable, and a stable place to work away from moving traffic. Sidewall damage, wheel or suspension damage, missing equipment, or an unsafe surface can make towing the safer next step.
For a lockout, be ready to show identification and proof that you own the vehicle or have the owner's permission. Lost keys, damaged locks, high-security systems, or a child or vulnerable person inside the vehicle may require a locksmith or emergency response instead.
Give dispatch the exact fuel type before service is assigned. Fuel delivery does not repair battery, fuel-system, or mechanical problems, and a vehicle may still need towing. If the wrong fuel was added, do not start the engine; explain the situation to dispatch.
Some calls begin as a battery, tire, lockout, or fuel request but end with a tow after the vehicle and scene are assessed. Share the vehicle's condition, whether it rolls or steers, and the intended destination so dispatch can plan the right response.
Roadside-assistance prices depend on the requested service, exact location, vehicle, access, materials, and conditions. The advertised $125 towing starting price is not a universal roadside-service price. Ask live dispatch to confirm the service and price before assignment.
Call 911 first for injury, fire, smoke, a child or vulnerable person alone inside a locked vehicle, a hazardous spill, or a vehicle blocking active traffic. Do not attempt a tire change or other repair where traffic, unstable ground, weather, or vehicle position makes the work unsafe.
You can ask dispatch about jump starts, spare-tire changes, emergency fuel delivery, vehicle lockouts, and battery-related help. Dispatch confirms current availability, job fit, and price before assigning service.
Yes. Live dispatch answers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. An answered call does not guarantee that every service or piece of equipment is immediately available; dispatch will give you the current answer.
Tell dispatch before a truck is assigned. If the vehicle has no compatible, safe spare—or the wheel, suspension, or tire is too damaged for a spare installation—the appropriate next step may be towing rather than a tire change.
No. A jump start may help when a 12-volt battery is depleted, but it cannot repair a failed battery, alternator, starter, wiring problem, or other mechanical fault. Towing may still be needed.
Not necessarily. Dispatch needs the correct fuel type, and a vehicle may remain disabled because of a battery, fuel-system, mechanical, or other problem. Do not start a vehicle after the wrong fuel has been added; explain the situation to dispatch.
Be prepared to show identification and proof that you own the vehicle or have the owner's permission. Some locks, keys, and security systems may be outside the available roadside service and require another solution.
No membership is required to ask Tommy's live dispatch about paid roadside service. Dispatch reviews the request, current availability, service fit, and price before an assignment is confirmed.
You can call from a residence, parking lot, street, or garage. Give dispatch the exact location, gate process, garage clearance, vehicle position, and other access limits so the request can be evaluated before assignment.
