24/7 Roadside Assistance
in Laredo, Encinal, Zapata, & Beyond!
Most people believe they won’t need roadside assistance – until the exact moment that they do.
Pulling over to the side of the road with a flat tire, no fuel light, or serious engine problem is not a good feeling. Especially when you know the only person you can rely on is a friend, spouse or no one. Sometimes your only option is a long walk to a gas station and that is not a short trip.
Roger Cabello Wrecker is your roadside friend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our towing service is ideal for vehicles of all makes and models. We offer quick roadside fixes like jump starting a dead battery to loading your vehicle on a flatbed for towing. We provide our benefits to trucks and personal vehicles in and surrounding Laredo, Zapata, Encinal, TX & many more.
What is Roadside Assistance?
One of the most important rules of the road is to be prepared for anything to happen. You can drive over something sharp and pop a tire, accidentally run out of gas, or develop an unexpected breakdown. While the solutions to these issues are usually fairly straightforward, you don't usually have the parts and equipment needed to solve the problem immediately on hand. To make matters worse, attempting to drive even a short distance is difficult, dangerous, or even impossible. Roadside assistance services such as the ones offered by Roger Cabello Wrecker are designed to help you when your vehicle breaks down by the side of the road. We can perform small tasks to get you back on the road as quickly as possible, such as changing out your spare tire, jumpstarting a dead battery, refilling your gas tank, and opening locked vehicles. If necessary, we can tow your vehicle to our repair shop for additional service or repairs.
Every driver should have a contingency plan in place if they need roadside assistance, but it's especially important for:
- Elderly drivers
- New or younger drivers
- Parents with infants or small children
- Drivers of vehicles that are older than 12 years old
- Anyone with a physical disability
- People who live or habitually drive in remote areas
- Anyone who often drives long distances
Many insurance companies, member organizations, auto manufacturers, and even credit companies offer plans that cover or offset the costs of roadside assistance should you need it. This makes it easier than ever to call for help when you need it. If you live, work, or plan to drive in the Laredo, Zapata, or Encinal, TX areas, keep Roger Cabello Wrecker in mind if you ever find yourself stranded by the side of the road.

What to Do if You Need Roadside Assistance
If your vehicle breaks down by the side of the road, it's important to get yourself and your passengers to safety before you call for roadside assistance. Don't make a bad situation worse or risk your life trying to fix your car. Instead, take the following actions to get out of harm's way, then contact our professionals for help.
- Get off the Road: If you can operate your vehicle, get it as far off the road as you can. Your main goal is to put as much space as possible between yourself and other vehicles. Point your tires away from the road so if it starts to roll by accident, it won't drift back into the road.
- Maximize Visibility: As soon as you know your vehicle is in trouble, turn on your emergency flashers. Once you are safely parked on the shoulder, place reflective triangles or road flares on the ground a few feet in front of and behind your car. This makes your vehicle as visible as possible to ensure that other motorists can see and avoid it.
- Determine Your Location: While our truck drivers are familiar with the greater Laredo, Zapata, and Encinal areas, finding you takes longer if we have to search for you. Keep track of which road you're on and the nearest exit or cross street. Before you contact us for roadside assistance, use your vehicle's built-in navigation system or a smartphone navigation app to pinpoint your exact location, if possible.
- Call for Roadside Assistance: The only time to call 911 if you have broken down is if you're in a dead stop in a lane of traffic and can't get out of the way of moving cars. All other instances do not count as emergencies, so you would give our team a call for roadside assistance instead. Remain in your vehicle with your seatbelt buckled while you wait for roadside assistance unless you are able to get somewhere safe or behind some sort of solid barrier.
There are also some tips that our roadside assistance team like to recommend to drivers which can help make the entire process go more smoothly. For example, if you have a smartphone, the best way to make it easy for a roadside assistance crew to find you is to use a map app to pin drop your exact location. In lieu of this, a good trick for highways is to check mile markers. Just walk a short distance up the road to find the nearest marker and share which stretch of the highway you're on to ensure a prompt and accurate arrival. For calls in the Laredo, Encinal, and Zapata, TX areas, we can be there in no time. Also keep in mind that the person on the phone is there to help guide you through the whole process. These trained operators can talk you through any additional steps you may need to take. If possible, it pays to keep your phone well-charged so you can stay in constant contact with the roadside assistance team.
