I thought I was dealing with AAA roadside assistance because that’s what I looked up in my phone. I was charged $199 to have my tire changed even though I have AAA coverage

Caltha, we completely understand your frustration — discovering an unexpected $199 charge for a tire change when you believed you were contacting your AAA coverage is genuinely upsetting, and that is far from the transparent experience DRIVE Roadside aims to deliver. We take concerns like this seriously. To address the billing issue, you can submit a refund request at driveroadside.com/billing, and our team will look into your situation right away.

What was great is the fact they tried to go as fast as they could. It was expensive but it got us off the side of the highway so that’s all that matters

I appreciate the service I received on 8/18/25. Once placed my order online, I had a very quick response and phone call from the driver. He was at my car within 25 minutes. A very professional man that cared about my safety, leaving with instructions driving on a spare tire. I can’t think your team enough for the wonderful service.

Never use them!!


Never, ever use these predatory people. I called because my Tesla had a flat. He told me it would be $175 to come out and that, if the tire needed to be replaced, the total would be up to $500. I gave him my information and called him back 10 minutes later after discovering the tire couldn’t be repaired. He said he would look for a tire and give me pricing.

Then he called back and told me it would be $800 for one tire. I told him I would not pay $800 for a single tire when the tire costs $380 max. He then said it was because it was Sunday. I declined. He told me he would still charge my card $175 for the service. I explained that I didn’t want the service, and he said it was non-refundable.

At no point did he mention that the $175 would be non-refundable. No one ever came out — the entire conversation lasted about 10 minutes. I ended up finding another company who came out and replaced my tire for $220 (same exact tire).

Buyers beware. They will try to take advantage of your situation and scam money out of you. I will also be reporting this to the BBB and will definitely call my credit card company. When I told the company that actually came out what had happened, they said, “Are you sure they weren’t quoting you for all four tires?” SMH.

RUN ..!!!

RUN ..!!!!

Do not place your trust and money in this company. They're not giving you what you're promised. They are deceitful in their tactics, and how they run their business.

They say they will give you full access to jobs and contracts, and that a lie. They take your money, and when there's an issue they'll ignore your emails

I will be reporting this company

Progressive

The process of getting a receipt that is proper for your insurance to reimburse you for is subpar. Also, it was hard to navigate through the website and there was nobody available to call for help

Canceled my service within 2 minutes

Canceled my service within 2 minutes, still charged me 200 dollars, when they clearly did nothing as it was an est of 80 minutes when I needed help immediately for my dogs burning alive in there anyway, they didn't tell me an est before I spent that money and the number they gave me hung up on me when I asked for help in solving the issue, never use this service 0/10

We're very sorry to hear about your experience and truly hope your dogs are safe.

To clarify, the $200 charge you saw is a temporary hold, not a final charge, and it will automatically fall off your account. In cases where a service is canceled after being dispatched, a $49 cancellation fee applies, which is explained in our terms during checkout.

We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to make things right.

Outstanding experience.

Excellent. Arrived very fast and saved my dogs from a very hot car. Had a rental had it running with the air on and the car shut off with the keys in it. No idea why it did that but they arrived 9 minutes later and saved my dogs. Thank you Joe!

Great Service

Service was quick, competent, and painless. I'm 77 years old and physically cannot change a tire by myself. If I ever have a problem again, I will definitely use DRIVE Roadside again.

Drive Roadside got me going quickly

Drive Roadside quickly found and dispatched a company to jump my car. It was very easy. The only downside is the receipt they emailed to me was very generic and my car insurance company will not accept it. Please improve the service receipt to include the name of the company and service provided.
