When a car gives out here on Emancipation Avenue or a side street, our local roadside team is already close — on call across Third Ward and Central Houston around the clock.

No membership and no runaround — a flat price upfront and a tech who knows Third Ward.
Always-Open Roadside Assistance Along Emancipation Avenue And Across Third Ward
Third Ward is one of Houston's original wards, the neighborhood of Emancipation Park, Project Row Houses on Holman and the Eldorado Ballroom at Elgin and Emancipation Avenue. It is also home to two universities: the University of Houston along Cullen Boulevard and Texas Southern on Cleburne. Both are commuter campuses, which means thousands of cars parked in open student lots from early morning to late evening in the Houston sun. A student car that cranks slow at eight and refuses at five is the most common reason we get a jump start call here, and we handle the follow-up battery replacement in the same lot.
Away from campus, Third Ward is shotgun houses and new townhomes on Ennis, Blodgett and Holman, the big homes of Riverside Terrace along the MacGregor Ways by Brays Bayou, and the fast cut-through traffic on Scott, Almeda, Elgin and Alabama. We take the flat tire on Scott Street, the lockout at Emancipation Park, and the empty tank on the 288 feeder, with the flat price quoted before anyone is dispatched.

Truck Battery Jump Start In Third WardDead Batteries, Flats & Lockouts: Third Ward's Everyday Calls
Student Car Dead In A UH Commuter Lot
The University of Houston lots along Cullen and Elgin are open pavement with no shade, and a car parked through a full day of classes in August comes back to a battery that clicks. We come to the lot, jump it, and tell you honestly whether it will last the semester.
Locked Out At Emancipation Park
Weekend events at the park and the Eldorado Ballroom put keys inside locked cars along Emancipation Avenue and Elgin. We open the door without damage so the afternoon does not end on the curb.
Flat Tire On Scott Street
Scott Street carries fast through traffic on pavement with patches and rail crossings, and Almeda is not much kinder. A sidewall gives up and there is no shoulder. We set up with the truck as a shield and mount the spare.
Out Of Gas On The 288 Feeder
Commuters coming up SH-288 from Pearland run dry at the Third Ward exits. We bring fuel to the feeder or the first side street so you can reach a station on Almeda or Old Spanish Trail.
Battery Won't Hold In Riverside Terrace
The big homes along the MacGregor Ways have long driveways where a second car sits for weeks. A battery that has needed two jumps this summer is finished. We bring the right one and install it in the driveway.
Car Stalled Near Brays Bayou After A Storm
The MacGregor Ways and the streets closest to Brays Bayou go under in a hard rain. If your car stalled in water, do not keep cranking it. Call us, and we assess it on site and tell you the next safe step.
Truck, Van & Commercial Roadside Help Along Emancipation Avenue And Across Third Ward
Two universities, a wave of townhome construction and the businesses along Almeda and Scott mean service trucks, contractor pickups and delivery vans working Third Ward every day. We carry the equipment for commercial jump starts and the tools for truck and van lockouts, so a dead work truck on Holman does not cost the crew the day.
On-Site Across Third Ward, From Emancipation Avenue To The Quiet Blocks
Third Ward covers ZIP codes 77004 and 77021, between Midtown and I-69/US-59 on the northwest, the Gulf Freeway and EaDo on the northeast, SH-288 and the Museum District on the west, and Brays Bayou and the Medical Center area to the south.

The MacGregor Park lots and the Riverside Terrace streets near the bayou add calls after heavy rain. Tell us the lot number or the block and we will find you.

Roadside Assistance In Third Ward: FAQ
Can you come into a UH or TSU parking lot?
Yes. The university lots are open to service vehicles. Tell us the lot name or number and a landmark, the nearest building or street, and the technician calls when close.
Why do student cars die so often in the lots?
Heat and long parking days. A car that sits eight hours in an open Houston lot in summer loses a lot from a battery that was already weak. We test it after the jump so you know whether it needs replacing before finals.
What is the flat price in Third Ward?
a flat $145, for a jump start, lockout, flat tire change or fuel delivery anywhere in 77004 or 77021. Battery replacement is from $145 plus the battery. No membership.
I'm on 288 or the Gulf Freeway. Can you reach me?
Take the next exit onto the feeder if you safely can and call (346) 820-0931 with the cross street. Houston clears freeway mainlanes under SafeClear, and the feeder is where we meet you.
Do you work Third Ward overnight?
Yes, every hour. Late campus nights, weekend events and shift workers heading to the Medical Center send calls after midnight, and the same local number answers.
Can you replace a battery in a campus lot?
Yes. We bring the correct battery for your car and install it in the lot so you drive home on a fresh battery rather than on a jump that may not last past Cullen.
