  • Do I need to be a mechanic?
    No. We do NOT offer, nor perform, mobile mechanic work.
  • Is this a Sales position?
    No. We do NOT sell roadside assistance insurance coverage. We only provide the services.
  • What are the qualifications for this type of work?
    - Experience preferred, but not required - Ability to follow "how-to" instructions - Ability to perform, simple, non-mechanical, automotive tasks - Have available resources to obtain tools necessary for the services - Must have a reliable vehicle, valid Driver's License & current Insurance - Good driving record & clear background check
  • Will I have to drive a Tow Truck?
    No. This is Independent Contractor work, therefore, you will need a reliable vehicle (in good cosmetic condition - professional in appearance - Model 2001 or newer preferred). This vehicle will be used to drive to each service call. Your vehicle's gas & maintenance costs will be your responsibility.
  • What is an Independent Contractor?
    The IRS has a wide array of explanations on this particular classification. However, simply put, an Independent Contractor is NOT an hourly or salaried employee. An Independent Contractor has the right to Accept or Reject individual job offers (service calls). In a way, you are your own boss. It also includes an IRS Form W9 (filled out in the beginning) & 1099s at the end of the year, instead of employment W-2s. Which means, you must hold back any necessary funds, pay and file your own taxes each year (including possible estimated taxes throughout the year). Please see a Tax Professional for further details.
  • How much will I get paid?
    You'll get paid, per service call. The standard rates, per service call, can be found on the Rate Schedule (inside the Application Packet). These rates can be negotiated, but volume tends to go to the Service Providers with the best rates, acceptance rate, response times & customer service. Standard rates, starting out, typically range from $12.50 to $20.00 per job (service call). Most the time, this can add up quickly!
  • How often will I get paid?
    Payments are sent out weekly. You have the option of check by mail OR Direct Deposit. ACH / EFT / Direct Deposit payments are the quicker & preferred method, by both, us and most Service Providers.
  • What kind of schedule can I have?
    Really, you get the call and go. There's no base / hub you have to sit at all day or for as long as your shift lasts. This is strictly "On-Call" work. You could be at home or out & about... Get the call... go perform the service... go back to what you were doing. With that said, the following options / suggestions are shown within the Application Packet: - 24/7 (best chance for most calls) - 24/6 (1 day off a week) - 24/5 (2 days off a week) - Daytime Shift (typically 12+ hours everyday) - Night Shift (typically 12+ hours everyday) - Other

  • My car won't start. Can you help?
    Yes! In most instances. Here are a few tips to know what might be wrong with your vehicle: Multiple clicks - or no sound - when trying to start.. combined with dim headlights and interior lights (dash lights might still work) -- This is most likely a dead battery. Yes, we can help! If you know you just left lights on or left something plugged in... you can book a jump start, online, here: www.backtoliferoadside.com/book-request-service If you already know it's definitely a bad battery, you can book us to bring you a new battery and we'll install it for you.

If this is the case, unfortunately, we don't tow. If your vehicle starts, but can't stay running.. it just keeps dying while running -- This is most likely an alternator issue. If this is the case, unfortunately, we don't tow. Please keep in mind, there is still a small chance that the battery is so far gone, the alternator can't keep it going. If you're not sure, no worries, we can still help! We have testers that can test your vehicle's battery.. your vehicle's starter.. and your vehicle's alternator. We can even provide a printout showing the tests results.
