OnStar Roadside Assistance Comes to the Rescue of Three Generations of Women

I was recently visiting Erie, Pa., on a shopping trip with my mother and daughter when I came out of a store to find a flat tire. I pushed the OnStar button and was immediately connected to an OnStar Advisor who quickly sent Roadside Assistance(1) out to my car to put on my spare. The Roadside Assistance provider went out of his way to find me an open tire service station that could fix my tire and get me on my way. Not only did he tell me where one was, he called ahead so they knew I was coming, made sure that they stayed open until I got there and even followed me in his truck so that I did not get lost.

It is very scary when two women and a child are in an unfamiliar area and have a vehicle mishap, and it was so nice to know that help was quickly available. It was a bonus for us that the Roadside Assistance provider who was sent to our aid was so helpful, honest and kind. We were all really thankful for OnStar.
