About Pinellas Roadside Rescue

Meet Gary — Owner & Mobile Roadside Technician

Pinellas Roadside Rescue is a one-man operation, and that's intentional. When you call or text 727-637-9402, you're getting Gary — the owner — not a dispatcher routing someone who may or may not show up. Gary handles every single service call personally, which means you always know who's coming and what to expect.

Gary started Pinellas Roadside Rescue in 2023 after seeing a consistent gap in the local market: tow companies charging $150+ for situations that didn't need a tow, and roadside apps with unreliable dispatch times and hidden fees. His answer was a flat-rate, show-up-fast, fix-it-on-the-spot service built for the people who live and work in Pinellas County.

What Sets Us Apart

• Owner on every call. Gary responds personally — no subcontractors, no strangers, no surprises.
• Flat, upfront pricing. You're quoted before Gary dispatches. $75 for flat tires and jump starts, $99 for lockouts. No add-ons when you're already stressed.
• No tow, no shop. Most roadside problems — flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, empty tanks — don't need a tow truck. Gary fixes them where your vehicle sits, saving you money and time.
• 24/7 availability. Not just "we try to answer after hours." Gary is genuinely available around the clock, including weekends and holidays.
• 5.0-star rated. Every review Gary has earned is from a real customer who called for a real roadside emergency. That rating reflects the experience you'll get.
