What should I tell you when I call? Your location (address, cross streets or a map pin), your vehicle's year, make and model, and what happened. For a flat, tell us if you have a spare. In a parking garage, tell us the garage name and level.

Do I need to be with my car when you arrive? Yes. The driver or the owner of the vehicle needs to be with the car when the Happy Road Services technician arrives.

Can I call for a family member who's stuck? Yes. You can call Happy Road Services for a family member and take care of payment for them. The driver or owner still needs to be with the car when we arrive.

What vehicles does Happy Road Services work on? Cars, SUVs, pickup trucks and vans, including Teslas and other electric vehicles. Our battery services (jump starts, battery testing and battery replacement) also cover motorcycles, box trucks, large commercial vehicles and golf carts.

What if I'm stuck on a highway? If you're in a live lane or on a shoulder that isn't safe, call 911 first. If you can get to a safe shoulder, exit or side street, turn on your hazard lights and call us.

Does Happy Road Services tow cars? No. Happy Road Services doesn't operate a tow truck. We fix the problem where your car is, which is usually faster and cheaper than a tow.

Can I schedule service ahead of time? Yes. For tire installation, battery replacement and other work that isn't an emergency, you can book a service ahead of time. If you're stranded right now, call (201) 464-2014 instead.

Cost and payment

How much does roadside assistance cost? It depends on what happened, where your car is, and what it needs. A flat tire can be a quick plug, a spare change, or a new tire. A dead battery might need a jump or a replacement. That's why Happy Road Services asks a few quick questions when you call, then gives you a price before we send anyone, so you know the cost up front.

Why doesn't Happy Road Services list prices on its website? Every roadside call is different, and a price that's right for one car can be wrong for the next. When you call (201) 464-2014, we listen to your situation and give you an honest quote for your car, not a guess.

What affects the price? The service you need, your vehicle (car, SUV, truck, EV or Tesla), whether you need parts like a tire or a battery, and where your car is (street, garage or roadside).

Will there be surprise fees? No. Happy Road Services gives you the price before we dispatch. If something changes once we see the car, we tell you before doing any extra work.

Do I need a membership? No. Any driver can call Happy Road Services. No sign-up and no yearly fee.

How can I pay? Happy Road Services accepts cash, credit and debit cards, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App and PayPal.

Do you give a receipt? Yes. Happy Road Services gives you a receipt for every job.

Will my insurance or roadside plan pay me back? Some Happy Road Services customers have been reimbursed by their auto insurance or roadside plan. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your provider. We give you a receipt you can submit with your claim.

Tires

Can you fix my flat tire, or do I need a new one? A nail or screw in the tread can usually be plugged or patched. Sidewall damage, a large hole, or a tire driven flat for a long way needs to be replaced. A Happy Road Services technician checks the tire and tells you honestly before any work starts. See flat tire service in Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, Union City, Weehawken and West New York.

My car has no spare. Can you still help? Yes. Happy Road Services can repair your tire if it's repairable, or install a used or new tire on the spot.

Does Happy Road Services work on Teslas and other EVs? Yes. EV and Tesla mobile tire service is one of our specialties, and we lift electric vehicles at the correct points.

Does Happy Road Services sell used and new tires? Yes. We sell both and install them wherever your car is. Have your tire size ready when you call. It's on the side of your tire and looks like 225/65R17.

Will you install tires I bought somewhere else? Yes. Happy Road Services can install tires you bought from another store or online, wherever your car is parked.

Do used tires come with a warranty? No. Used tires from Happy Road Services are sold as-is, which helps keep the price low. We look the tire over before installing it, and you can see it before it goes on your car.

Do you balance tires? Yes. Tire balancing is available on site.

Batteries and jump starts

Do I need a jump start or a new battery? Happy Road Services tests your battery and charging system first. If the battery is fine, a jump is all you need. If it won't hold a charge, we can replace it on the spot. See jump start service in Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, Union City, Weehawken and West New York.

Do Happy Road Services batteries come with a warranty? Yes. Every battery we install comes with a warranty. How long it lasts depends on the battery and the manufacturer, and we'll tell you the warranty for your battery before we install it. Keep your receipt.

Do you jump start motorcycles, box trucks or golf carts? Yes. Happy Road Services provides jump starts, battery testing and battery replacement for motorcycles, box trucks, large commercial vehicles and golf carts, as well as cars, SUVs, pickups and vans. Tell us the vehicle when you call so we bring the right battery.

Can you jump a car in a parking garage? Usually yes. Tell us the garage name and level when you call.

Brakes and small repairs

Does Happy Road Services do brake work? Yes. Happy Road Services does brake jobs, depending on the car. Call (201) 464-2014 with your year, make and model, and we'll tell you if we can do it on site.

Can you help with other small mechanical problems? Often yes. Happy Road Services handles minor mechanical help on the spot. Describe the problem when you call, and we'll tell you if it's something we can fix where the car is.

Car lockouts

Will unlocking my car damage it? No. Happy Road Services uses professional lockout tools that open your door without damaging the lock, window or paint. See car lockout service in Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, Union City, Weehawken and West New York.

My child or pet is locked in the car. What should I do? Call 911 right away if anyone is in danger from heat or cold. Then call us.

My keys are locked in the trunk. Can you get them? Often yes. Many cars let us open the trunk once the doors are unlocked. Tell us your make and model when you call.

Fuel delivery

Does Happy Road Services deliver diesel? Yes. We deliver gasoline or diesel. Tell us which one your vehicle takes. See fuel delivery in Jersey City, Bayonne and West New York.

My car still won't start after you add fuel. Now what? Running a car until it's empty can also drain the battery. Happy Road Services can jump start it while we're there.
