breakdown service
Stranded motorist assistance
A breakdown service is a roadside assistance program that helps motorists when their vehicles fail.
If your car won't start or breaks down on the highway, you call the breakdown service for towing, jump-starts, tire changes, or emergency repairs.
The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say roadside assistance or AAA.
