Real Situations, Real Protection on Sheridan Roads

Here's what roadside assistance actually covers when you're stranded in Wyoming

TOWING COVERAGE

Tows your vehicle to the nearest repair shop when it can't be fixed on the spot. Distance limits vary by plan—some cover 5 miles, others up to 100+ miles. Critical for I-90 breakdowns or mountain pass incidents where the nearest mechanic is 30+ miles away.

BATTERY JUMP-START

Dead battery? A technician comes to you and jump-starts your vehicle on the spot. Especially common during Sheridan's brutal winter mornings when temps drop below zero. Some plans include battery replacement service, not just the jump.

FLAT TIRE CHANGE

Technician changes your flat tire with your spare—gets you back on the road fast. Essential on Wyoming highways where you can be miles from help. Doesn't cover the cost of a new tire, but covers the labor to swap it out safely.

What Does Roadside Assistance Actually Cover?

Let's cut through the confusion—here's what each type of coverage actually does for you in Sheridan

COMMON MYTHS ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

Myth: "It's only for old, unreliable vehicles."
Truth: Anyone can have a flat tire, dead battery, or lockout—even brand-new vehicles break down, especially in Wyoming winters.

Myth: "My auto insurance already covers towing."
Truth: Only if you added roadside coverage to your policy. Standard liability or even full coverage doesn't automatically include roadside assistance.

Myth: "I can just call a tow truck when I need one."
Truth: A single tow on I-90 can cost $100-$400+ depending on distance. Roadside coverage typically costs $15-$75/year—one incident pays for itself.

Myth: "All roadside plans are the same."
Truth: Distance limits, service caps, and what's included vary drastically. Some cover 5 miles, others 100+ miles—critical difference on Wyoming highways.

Myth: "Using roadside assistance will raise my insurance rates."
Truth: Most insurers don't raise rates for roadside claims—it's not considered an at-fault incident. But verify with your specific carrier.

WHAT YOUR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE COVERS

  • Towing: Transport to nearest repair facility (distance limits vary: 5-100+ miles depending on plan)
  • Battery Jump-Start: On-site jump service; some plans include battery testing and replacement
  • Flat Tire Change: Labor to install your spare tire (tire replacement cost not included)
  • Fuel Delivery: Delivers 2-5 gallons of fuel to get you to a gas station (you pay for fuel, they cover delivery)
  • Lockout Service: Technician attempts to unlock your vehicle; locksmith service if needed (coverage limits vary)
  • Winching/Extraction: Pulls your vehicle out if stuck in mud, snow, or ditch (within limits)
  • Minor Mechanical Labor: On-site adjustments if issue can be fixed roadside

Which Coverage Option Is Right for You?

Here's how to figure out what works for your situation. What do you need?

Minor Mechanical First Aid for Roadside Assistance

When your vehicle breaks down 50 miles from the nearest town in Wyoming or won't start in a Colorado parking lot, you need roadside assistance that solves the problem right there—not just a tow truck that hauls you to a shop and leaves you stranded for days. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find roadside coverage that includes minor mechanical first aid—trained technicians who can diagnose and repair common problems like loose hoses, slipped serpentine belts, disconnected battery cables, dead batteries, and flat tires on-site, getting you back on the road in minutes instead of waiting hours for towing and days for repairs. We're local experts who answer the phone, explain coverage in plain English, and make sure your roadside assistance actually solves problems instead of just moving them to a different location.

Lockout Service for Roadside Assistance

Mountain West drivers face lockout frustrations in some of the worst possible places—locked out in subzero Wyoming parking lots, stranded outside your vehicle at remote Colorado trailheads, or stuck outside after a long shift in the oil fields with dead key fobs and no spare. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find roadside assistance with professional locksmith service that reaches you anywhere in our region—not generic programs that fail when you need help outside major cities. We're local experts who answer the phone, explain coverage in plain English, and make sure you're never paying hundreds out of pocket because you locked your keys in your truck.

Jump Start Assistance for Roadside Assistance

When your battery dies in a Wyoming parking lot at -20°F or you're stranded after leaving your lights on overnight, you need help that arrives in thirty minutes—not a three-hour wait for a tow truck charging $400 for a simple jump. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find jump-start assistance that delivers professional technicians to your location fast—whether you're at home, at work, or on the road—with no surprise costs when you need help most. We're locals who've been stranded in Mountain West winters ourselves, and we make sure you're never stuck helpless when a dead battery threatens your day.

Fuel Delivery for Roadside Assistance

When you run out of gas on a remote Wyoming highway, 40 miles from the nearest station, or stranded in Northern Colorado during a winter storm, you need fuel delivery that actually reaches you—not programs that only work on suburban streets near gas stations. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find roadside assistance with fuel delivery that works anywhere you drive—from interstate highways to mountain backroads to rural ranch roads where standard services won't dispatch. We're local drivers who've faced the same situations, and we make sure your roadside coverage includes fuel delivery that brings 2-3 gallons to your exact location within 30-60 minutes, getting you safely to the nearest refueling station without the stress, safety risks, or massive towing bills that come from being stranded without fuel.

Flat Tire Change for Roadside Assistance

Mountain West drivers face flat tire risks every day—from nail-strewn construction zones in Fort Collins to sharp rock debris on Wyoming highways after spring snowmelt, from extreme temperature swings that stress tire sidewalls at altitude to remote mountain passes where a flat tire 60 miles from the nearest town becomes a genuine safety emergency. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find flat tire roadside assistance that actually reaches you when you're stranded—with response times, towing distances, and service networks built for Mountain West roads, not just suburban parking lots. We're locals who've changed tires in subzero wind on I-80 and waited for help on remote passes ourselves, and we make sure your roadside coverage works when you actually need it.

Towing Service for Roadside Assistance

When your vehicle breaks down on Wyoming's I-80 during a winter storm, 60 miles from the nearest town in temperatures hitting -20°F, or on a remote Colorado mountain pass with no cell service—you need roadside assistance that actually reaches you, not programs designed for suburban breakdowns five minutes from help. As an independent brokerage serving Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana, we compare 20+ carriers to find towing and roadside coverage that works in Mountain West conditions—with service networks that dispatch to remote locations, towing distances appropriate for our vast geography, and 24/7 response even when you're hours from the nearest city. We're locals who've experienced these breakdowns ourselves, and we make sure your roadside assistance actually works when you're stranded in the places we regularly drive.

Older vehicles and drivers who prefer professional help should prioritize comprehensive roadside coverage.

If I break down on a Wyoming highway, how quickly can I expect roadside assistance to arrive?

How much does roadside assistance typically add to my auto insurance premium in Wyoming or Colorado?

Roadside assistance is usually an affordable add-on, often costing less than $5-10 per month. This can save you hundreds on unexpected towing or repair calls, especially driving through rural Wyoming or Colorado.

Do I really need roadside assistance if I have a newer car or a reliable vehicle?

Yes, even new vehicles can experience unexpected issues like a flat tire from road debris near the oil fields, a dead battery from forgotten lights, or running out of gas. It's affordable peace of mind.

What is the difference between basic and premium roadside assistance benefits?

Basic plans cover essential services with mileage limits for towing. Premium plans often include extended towing distances, winching service, trip interruption benefits, and sometimes even rental car reimbursement, offering broader protection for longer trips across the Rockies.
