Yes. We provide professional jump start service with commercial-grade equipment. If your battery cannot hold a charge after jumping, we can advise on next steps or tow you to a repair shop.

Insurance & Payment Questions
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes. We work with all major insurance companies and can provide the documentation and invoicing they require for claims processing, especially for accident recovery tows.

Safety Tips
Staying Safe While Waiting for a Tow in Houston
Breaking down on a busy Houston highway can be dangerous. If your vehicle stops running while driving, try to coast safely to the right shoulder or an exit ramp. Turn on your hazard lights immediately to alert other drivers. If you have emergency flares or reflective triangles, place them behind your vehicle to increase visibility, especially at night or during bad weather.
If you can safely exit the vehicle, move well away from the travel lanes and stand behind a guardrail or barrier if one is available. Houston freeways carry heavy traffic at high speeds, so staying inside a disabled vehicle on the shoulder can be risky, particularly on narrow shoulders. Once you are in a safe position, call Prime Towing LLC at (281) 949-8584 and our dispatcher will send help right away.
While waiting for our driver to arrive, avoid attempting roadside repairs unless you are confident and it is safe to do so. Changing a tire on the side of I-10 during rush hour is extremely dangerous. Our team carries all the equipment needed to handle tire changes, jump starts, and other roadside issues safely and efficiently. Let us take the risk so you do not have to.
