roadside repair
Emergency car mending
Roadside repair is fixing a vehicle at the side of the road after a breakdown, typically involving basic interventions like changing a tire, jump-starting a battery, or adding fluids.
The term suggests improvised, temporary fixes rather than proper shop work: We did a roadside repair just to get home.
Roadside repair services are offered by auto clubs and insurance companies.
