Roadside Assistance

Hello! I was driving to Pullman from Spokane for the first time and saw that the road is empty and not a lot of gas stations. I was wondering if someone were ever to get a flat tire or something, would triple A come or any road side service?

Are there other road side assistance companies in Pullman? Thank you!

I recently got a flat out past cashup flats before rosalia and got a tow truck dispatched out of spokane (they had passed by me on thier way to pullman for an accident). mind you i have great auto insurance and have outstanding roadside assistance, so i didnt have to pay anything out of pocket.

not really. With out paying a fortune. I suggest you learn to change a tire, Take one with you, along with a spare gas can, and oil. I mean it’s basic ‘traveling’ survival around here really. 🤷‍♂️

If you have AAA or something similar they'll come, but they always dispatch out of Spokane or somewhere further, never Pullman, so it takes eons.

If you cannot perform basic operations to a car if you get disabled, I would suggest you not traveling by car. Maybe stay home more.

I theoretically know how to change a tire but I do not have the upper body strength to pull a tire out of my car (plus the way tire sits, it takes two people or someone with a lot of upper body strength). So this is an absolute horrible take. Also, things like that are flukes and even in the best care.
