Car trouble is never convenient — especially in bad weather, late at night, or when you're in a hurry. That's why AAA Roadside Assistance is standing by 24/7/365 to help get you safely back on the road.

Whether you're dealing with a flat tire, dead battery, lockout, or need a tow, knowing the fastest ways to reach AAA can save you time, stress, and uncertainty.

The quickest ways to request AAA Roadside Assistance

Use the AAA Mobile App (fastest & most convenient)

The AAA Mobile App is the easiest and fastest way to request roadside assistance. With just a few taps, you can:

  • Request service instantly
  • Track your service vehicle in real time
  • Get estimated arrival times
  • Access your digital AAA Membership card

Having the app means help is always right in your pocket — no phone calls or waiting on hold required. Download the app in the App Store or Google Play.

Request service online at AAA.com

Don't have the app? You can request roadside assistance anytime at AAA.com. The online request option allows you to quickly submit your location and vehicle details so help can be dispatched efficiently.

Call AAA Roadside Assistance

You can always call (800) 222-4357 to speak directly with a representative who can send help your way.

Important: What not to do in an emergency

While social media comments and text messages are great for general questions, they do not connect you to AAA roadside specialists and can delay your service request. For the fastest help, always use the app, website, or phone number above.
