• If you are in a remote area or the breakdown occurs late at night on a weekend, be prepared for a longer wait.
• The same goes for inclement weather. When demand for assistance is high, allocation of service vehicles is generally on a first-come, first-served basis.
• If you expect a long delay or the weather is inclement, have your service provider notify the highway patrol or local law enforcement office to send a vehicle to assist with traffic. Law enforcement can also help move passengers to a safe area if circumstances are life-threatening.

If the estimated wait time is exceeded, contact your motor club again to check status.
