Roadside Assistance: If you are in need of roadside assistance for your Eligible Vehicle, you may contact a licensed service provider of your choice. You may also contact the Administrator for assistance in locating a licensed service provider by calling 1-866-588- 0728. This toll-free number provides access to a roadside assistance dispatcher 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This service requires use of a credit card to arrange for dispatch.
