What to tell dispatch in Thousand Palms

1. Your exact spot. For example: "the fuel station lot at the Ramon Road exit, north of the I-10."
2. The vehicle: year, make, model, and whether it is front-, rear- or all-wheel drive or electric.
3. What happened, and whether the car starts, rolls and steers.
4. Where it needs to go: a repair shop, a dealership or your home.

Ask for an arrival time and the price before you agree. If you are on the I-10 or in a travel lane, get safe first, and call 911 if anyone is hurt.
