Can I use OnStar for emergency roadside assistance?

Asked 5 months ago
OnStar does provide emergency roadside assistance as one of its key services. If a driver finds themselves in a situation such as a flat tire, battery failure, or running out of fuel, OnStar can help. When a driver activates OnStar, they can either press the blue OnStar button in their vehicle or use the OnStar app if they have a connected service. This will connect them to an OnStar Advisor, who can assess the situation and dispatch the appropriate assistance. The service includes not only tow truck dispatch but also help with lockouts and jump-starts, among other issues. It is important to note that the level of service may depend on the specific OnStar plan or subscription the user has chosen. For more detailed information about the specific coverage and services included in different OnStar plans, it is a good idea to visit the official OnStar website and review the current offerings.
