Roadside Assistance in Cambridge, MA.
Roadside assistance for Cambridge drivers, dispatched any hour by crews who run this metro every day. Many calls on this line are a dead battery, a flat tire, an empty tank or a locked key, not a full tow. A roadside call can get you back on the road and can cost less than a full tow.
What makes roadside assistance different in Cambridge & Somerville?
Student cars around Harvard, MIT and Tufts sit for weeks between drives and come back dead, and the permit blocks of Cambridge and Somerville produce steady lockouts and flats. Most of it is roadside work, not a tow. A local operator covers the routine calls.

What's specific about roadside assistance in Cambridge?
Cambridge runs its own impound, not the Boston lot, so a tow here follows the DPU maximum rates and the plate lookup at cambridgema.gov. Student cars around Harvard, MIT and Tufts sit for weeks between drives and come back dead, and the permit blocks of Cambridge and Somerville produce steady lockouts and flats.
Do you provide roadside assistance in Cambridge, Newton, Quincy and other Boston-area communities?
Yes. Quick Tow Boston covers the whole metro for roadside assistance, from downtown and the Seaport out to Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Quincy and Dedham. Arrival depends on where you are and which operator is free. Call (857) 858-5057. The assigned operator quotes the job before they roll.
Will a jump start fix my car?
If the battery is the only issue, you can often drive away after the engine is running. If the alternator is bad or the battery won't hold a charge, the operator quotes a tow to a shop. Ask what they see before they recommend a tow.
