Emergency roadside service across Houston.

It depends on the service, your location, and the time of day. A lockout or jump-start inside Beltway 8 during the day is the lowest price; a call on the outer loop at 2 a.m. costs more because of drive time and overnight rates. Boutte quotes the price over the phone before dispatching, so you know the cost before anyone rolls.

Typical arrival is 10–45 minutes depending on where you are and what traffic looks like. Overnight and early-morning calls are usually faster because there's less traffic. On a freeway shoulder during rush hour on I-10, I-45, or the Loop it can run longer, because the technician has to fight the same traffic you're stuck in.

Yes. Dispatch is staffed around the clock, every day of the year — overnight, weekends, and holidays. The line works at any hour: call (713) 253-5088.

A lot of newer vehicles come with a fix-a-flat kit instead of a spare. If the puncture is in the tread and not the sidewall, we can try plugging it on-site. If it's a sidewall tear or the tire is too far gone, let Boutte know when you call so we bring the right equipment.

Yes. We bring a commercial jump box, get the engine running, and test the alternator to make sure the charging system is working. If the battery won't hold a charge or it's old and swollen, we can replace it on-site — we carry common battery sizes for most sedans, trucks, and SUVs.

Yes. Stripped, rounded, or locked lug nuts are one of the calls we get most. We carry dedicated lug-nut extractor sockets and breaker bars to back them out without damaging the wheel or studs, then change your tire or remount the wheel.
