What to Do When Your Car Breaks Down in Miami

Car trouble in Miami? Follow these steps to stay safe and get help fast.

Get Off the Road Safely First

Before anything else, get your vehicle as far off the travel lane as possible. On highways like I-95 or the Palmetto Expressway, that means the right shoulder if you can safely reach it. On surface streets, pull into a parking lot, driveway, or the widest shoulder available.

Turn on your hazard lights immediately, even before you've fully stopped. If it's dark or visibility is poor, consider setting up flares or reflective triangles if you carry them.

Assess Whether It's Safe to Stay With the Vehicle

If you're on a busy highway shoulder, especially in heavy traffic, staying inside the vehicle with your seatbelt on is usually safer than standing outside near moving traffic. If you're in a safer location, exiting on the side away from traffic is fine.

Never attempt to change a tire or inspect the engine on a live highway shoulder if you can avoid it β€” wait for professional help.

Call for Help β€” And Know What to Say

Have your location ready, including nearby exit numbers, mile markers, or cross streets. Describe what happened (won't start, overheating, flat tire, accident) so the dispatcher can send the right kind of truck.

Kendall Towing Services answers 24/7 at 305-972-2326 and can usually give you a realistic ETA within the first call.

While You Wait

Stay visible with hazard lights on, keep your seatbelt fastened if you're staying in the vehicle on a highway shoulder, and avoid standing between your car and moving traffic.
