👉 Roadside assistance in the context of Breakdown (vehicle)

A vehicle breakdown is a mechanical or electrical failure of a motor vehicle that renders the vehicle inoperable or causes further operation of the vehicle to be unsafe.

Vehicle breakdowns have various causes. Depending on the severity, the vehicle may need to be towed to an automobile repair shop or fixed on-site by roadside assistance or a mobile mechanic. With other problems, the driver may be able to operate the vehicle seemingly normally for some time, but the vehicle will need an eventual repair. Many vehicle owners with personal economic difficulty or a busy schedule may wait longer than they should to get necessary maintenance or repairs made to their vehicles, thereby increasing their chances of a breakdown, inducing further damage to the vehicle, or else causing more danger.
