Houston's freeway system is enormous — the 610 Loop, Beltway 8, I-45, I-10, and US-59 all carry heavy daily traffic — and a breakdown or accident on any of them can leave you stranded a long way from help. Summer heat causes real mechanical failures (overheating, dead batteries, blown tires), and heavy rain events have stranded plenty of cars in high water over the years. The listings below are real towing and roadside assistance companies serving the Houston metro, with their actual Yelp ratings, so you know who to call before you actually need one.
