Roadside Assistance in Lake Highlands: We're Already in Your Neighborhood

Lake Highlands is one of Dallas's most beloved neighborhoods — tree-lined streets, strong community ties, and some of the busiest residential corridors in the city. But when your car breaks down on Audelia Road, White Rock Trail, or along Skillman Street, you need help that arrives fast. Texas Tows Inc. has been serving Lake Highlands and the surrounding East Dallas area since 2015, and our TDLR-licensed operators (license #0654316VSF) are available around the clock.

Whether you've got a dead battery in a parking lot off Plano Road or a flat tire on Northwest Highway, you don't have to wait hours for a tow. We're already nearby.

Why Lake Highlands Drivers Call Texas Tows

Lake Highlands sits at the intersection of several major commuting routes — LBJ Freeway (I-635) to the north, US-75 (Central Expressway) to the west, and a dense grid of neighborhood arterials that see heavy traffic morning and evening. That means more vehicles, more miles driven, and unfortunately, more roadside emergencies.

According to AAA, approximately 32 million Americans need roadside assistance each year — and the average national wait time for a tow truck can exceed 45 minutes. In Lake Highlands, those extra minutes sitting on the shoulder of Skillman Street or in a parking lot on Audelia Road can feel like an eternity, especially after dark or in summer heat.

Texas Tows maintains a dispatch presence across East Dallas and the northeastern corridors of the city specifically to keep response times short for neighborhoods like Lake Highlands, Lakewood, White Rock, and Forest Hills.

Roadside Assistance Services in Lake Highlands

We cover the full spectrum of roadside emergencies — not just tows. Here's what our team handles on the spot in Lake Highlands:

Flat Tire Changes

A flat tire on Northwest Highway or the approach to White Rock Lake doesn't have to ruin your day. Our operators arrive with the equipment to mount your spare or securely load your vehicle onto a flatbed if the rim is damaged. We follow Texas Transportation Code safety standards for every roadside stop.

Battery Jumpstarts

Dead batteries are especially common in Dallas's extreme summer heat and cold winter nights. If your car won't start in a Lake Highlands parking lot or your driveway, our team can jumpstart most vehicles on-site. If the battery is beyond saving, we can tow you to your preferred shop.

Fuel Delivery

Running out of gas happens — especially on unfamiliar routes through Lake Highlands during a detour. We'll bring enough fuel to get you to the nearest station safely. No need to walk or rely on a stranger.

Lockout Assistance

Locked your keys inside near White Rock Trail or the Lake Highlands Town Center? Our team can help you get back in quickly. We use non-destructive methods and work carefully to protect your vehicle's door seals and glass.

Towing Service

When the vehicle can't be fixed on the spot, we tow it where it needs to go. Our fleet includes flatbed trucks suitable for sedans, SUVs, crossovers, and even modified or lowered vehicles. We cover tows to repair shops throughout Lake Highlands, across Dallas, and throughout DFW.

If you're not sure which shop to use, we're happy to recommend trusted mechanics we work with regularly in the East Dallas area.

Winch-Outs for Off-Road and Stuck Vehicles

White Rock Lake and the trails around it see their share of vehicles that end up in the mud or off-road areas after heavy Texas rainstorms. Our winch-out service can recover stuck or off-road vehicles safely, without damage to the drivetrain or undercarriage.

Learn more about our winch-out service for stuck vehicles if you're dealing with a recovery situation.

Key Roads and Intersections We Cover in Lake Highlands

Lake Highlands has a road network that blends major arterials with quiet residential streets. Here are the areas we most frequently respond to:

• Audelia Road — from Forest Lane to Walnut Hill Lane, covering major commercial strips and apartment corridors
• Skillman Street — the backbone of Lake Highlands, running south from Northwest Highway through Lakewood
• Plano Road — connecting Lake Highlands to Garland and beyond, especially busy near the 635 junction
• Northwest Highway (Loop 12) — a high-speed arterial that generates its share of roadside calls
• Walnut Hill Lane — major east-west connector with heavy commuter traffic
• White Rock Trail and surrounding park roads — especially relevant for weekend breakdowns and recreational-area calls

No matter which of these roads you're on when something goes wrong, our dispatch team will route the closest available operator to your location.

What to Do When You Break Down in Lake Highlands

Staying safe during a roadside emergency is as important as getting help fast. Here's what to do while you wait for Texas Tows to arrive:

1. Get off the road if you can. Pull into a parking lot, side street, or onto the shoulder. Avoid stopping in active lanes whenever possible.
2. Turn on your hazard lights immediately. This signals other drivers and keeps you visible, especially at night or in rain.
3. Stay in your vehicle if you're on a high-speed road like Northwest Highway or near the I-635 interchange. Exiting is often more dangerous than waiting inside.
4. Call us at (817) 512-1024. Give us your location — a cross street, parking lot name, or nearby landmark works fine. We'll dispatch immediately.
5. Stay aware of your surroundings. If you feel unsafe for any reason, it's fine to stay on the line with us while you wait.
