Roadside Assistance in San Antonio, TX
Need roadside assistance in San Antonio right now? STUCK Roadside connects you with independent local operators across Bexar County and the surrounding Hill Country, day or night. Whether your battery gave out in a sun-baked parking lot off Loop 410, a tire went flat on I-35 heading toward Austin, or you locked your keys in the car near the River Walk, you can request help in a few taps at stuck.solutions. You see the price before you book, you pay only for the service you use, and there is no membership to sign up for.
San Antonio is a driving city. It is spread out, the loops carry heavy traffic at all hours, and summer heat is hard on batteries, tires and cooling systems. A lot of breakdowns here start with something small: a battery that finally fails after a hot August week, or a tire that blows on hot pavement. STUCK was built so a small problem stays small. You request a service, we match you with a nearby operator, and you can watch them on the way.

Each service is booked on its own, so you pay only for what you need.
Jump start
What's included: A dead battery is the most common roadside problem. The operator connects jumper cables or a jump pack, gets your engine running and lets you know if the battery looks like it's failing. In San Antonio, summer heat is a common reason batteries fail, and a car parked for hours in the sun can come back with too little charge to start.
When to call: Call when your car clicks or won't crank, the dash lights are dim, or you left the headlights on.
Price: Upfront price shown before you book.
Lockout
What's included: Keys locked inside, or a key fob that died? The operator uses non-destructive entry tools to open your vehicle. You'll need to show you're allowed to access the vehicle. Lockouts happen all the time at busy spots like downtown garages, the Pearl and shopping centers along Loop 410.
When to call: Call when your keys are visible on the seat, in the trunk, or you simply can't get in.
Price: Upfront price shown before you book.
Flat tire change
What's included: The operator swaps your flat for your spare and checks that the lug nuts are tight. If you don't have a usable spare, a tow to a tire shop may be the better option. Hot asphalt and long highway runs on I-10 and I-35 are tough on tires, especially if they're underinflated.
When to call: Call when you have a flat or a blowout, or you aren't comfortable jacking up a car on a busy shoulder.
Price: Upfront price shown before you book.
Fuel delivery
What's included: Ran out of gas? The operator brings enough fuel to get you to the nearest station. You'll see the price before you book. Long gaps between exits on the outer stretches of Loop 1604 and US-281 can catch drivers off guard.
When to call: Call when your tank is empty or the gauge was lying to you.
Price: Upfront price shown before you book.
Winch-out
What's included: If your car is stuck in mud, sand, a ditch or soft shoulder, the operator uses a winch to pull it back onto solid ground where it can be driven safely. After heavy rain, unpaved shoulders and caliche lots on the edge of town can turn soft fast.
When to call: Call when your wheels spin without moving, or you've slid off the pavement and the car isn't badly damaged.
Price: Upfront price shown before you book.
Towing
What's included: When a quick fix won't get you moving, the operator tows your vehicle to the destination you choose, such as your home, your mechanic or a dealership. Let us know about your vehicle type and any special conditions (low clearance, all-wheel drive, won't roll) when you request, so the right equipment is sent.
When to call: The car won't start after a jump, there's an accident or mechanical failure, there's no usable spare, or the car went through water.
Price: From $50. See details on our $50 towing in San Antonio page.
Where we cover in San Antonio
Freeways and corridors. We take requests across the San Antonio road network: I-35 (through downtown and northeast toward New Braunfels, and south toward Laredo), I-10 (northwest toward Boerne and east toward Seguin), I-37 (south toward Corpus Christi), US-281 (north through Stone Oak), US-90, Loop 410 and the outer Loop 1604. If you're stopped on a highway shoulder, share your location or the nearest exit and direction of travel when you request.
Neighborhoods and suburbs. Downtown and the River Walk, Southtown and King William, Alamo Heights, the Pearl, the Medical Center, Stone Oak, Leon Valley, Helotes, Live Oak, Universal City, Converse, Windcrest, Schertz, Boerne and New Braunfels. Coverage depends on which independent operators are available near you at the moment you request, so the app shows you what's available before you commit.
San Antonio International Airport (SAT). Dead battery after a week in airport parking is one of the most common calls in any city. If you come back to a car that won't start in an SAT lot or a nearby off-site lot, request a jump start and give your lot and row. Follow airport parking rules, which may limit where outside service vehicles can go.
Local hazards to plan for.
- Heat. Long stretches of triple-digit summer days wear down batteries and tires. If your car is slow to crank in July, the battery may be close to failing.
- Flash flooding. San Antonio sits in the area often called "Flash Flood Alley," and the city has many low-water crossings that flood quickly during heavy rain. Never drive into moving or standing water: turn around, don't drown. If your car stalled in water, don't restart it. Request a tow instead.
- Occasional ice. Hard freezes are rare but do happen, and overpasses on Loop 410 and Loop 1604 can ice up first. If roads are icy, stay put and wait for help in a safe spot rather than trying to drive out.
No membership needed
Traditional auto clubs like AAA charge an annual membership fee whether or not you ever break down. STUCK works differently: there's no membership and no annual fee. You pay per service, when you need it, and you see the price before you book. If you already have roadside coverage through your insurer, car warranty or credit card, that's fine. STUCK is there whenever booking direct is simpler.
How it works
- Request help. Go to stuck.solutions, choose your service and share your location in San Antonio.
- Get matched. We match you with a nearby independent operator, and you see the upfront price before you confirm.
- Track the arrival. Follow your operator's progress until they arrive. Arrival times vary with traffic, weather and how busy operators are.
While you wait, stay somewhere safe: as far off the roadway as you can get, with your hazard lights on.
Get Roadside Help NowRoadside assistance in San Antonio: FAQ
How much does roadside assistance cost in San Antonio?
Towing starts from $50. For jump starts, lockouts, tire changes, fuel delivery and winch-outs, you see an upfront price before you book, based on your location and the service. There's no membership fee.
Do you cover Loop 1604 and the suburbs outside it?
Yes. You can request help along Loop 1604 and in suburbs such as Helotes, Live Oak, Schertz, Converse, Boerne and New Braunfels, subject to which independent operators are available near you.
My car won't start in the SAT airport parking lot. Can you help?
Yes. Request a jump start and include the lot name and row. Airport parking rules may limit where service vehicles can go, so check any posted instructions.
Is roadside help available overnight in San Antonio?
STUCK takes requests 24/7. Availability at any given hour depends on nearby independent operators, and the app shows you options before you book.
My car stalled in high water. Should I try to restart it?
No. Restarting a flooded engine can cause serious damage. Get yourself to safety first, then request a tow instead of a jump start.
Does the heat really kill car batteries?
Heat speeds up battery wear, which is why many San Antonio batteries fail in summer. If yours keeps dying after a jump, it probably needs replacing, and a tow to a shop may be the better call.
Do I need AAA or a membership to use STUCK?
No. You pay per service with no annual fee. If you already have coverage through your insurer or a credit card, you can still use STUCK when that's faster or easier for you.
