There’s nothing fun about needing a tow truck. From the frustration of waiting forever for it to arrive to the unshakable knowledge that you’re about to be gouged for a simple service, it’s a situation most drivers would gladly avoid. And like most industries, the experience of ordering a tow truck hasn’t changed in decades.

That’s why we’re so excited about Honk.

Honk is a new app for on-demand roadside assistance–no membership required. All you have to do is open Honk, say what you need (a jump start, tire change, tow, etc.) and they’ll come help. Unlike membership models like AAA and Roadside America, there are no upfront fees for access to the Honk network.

Honk partners with local mechanics and towing companies across the country and promises service in less than 30 minutes. (God bless ’em, but we once waited for AAA for four hours. No joke.)

With Honk, you’ll get an in-app quote before booking a service, and payments typically start around $50. (We got a $75 quote for a lockout and $100 for a tow.)

The best part? The app uses GPS to pinpoint your exact location, so you never have to explain to Mo from A&D Motors that you’re somewhere between exits 22 and 30 on I-84.
