Roadside Assistance Houston TX
RANIT is Houston's locally dispatched 24/7 roadside assistance service — jump starts, lockouts, tire changes, fuel delivery, and mobile tire replacement — all from one phone number.
When something goes wrong with your vehicle in Houston, you don't want a national 1-800 call center routing your job to whoever happens to bid lowest. You want a real Houston-area dispatcher who knows the difference between Fresno TX and Friendswood and can put the closest tech on your job in minutes.
RANIT is exactly that: a local Houston-metro roadside service, dispatched in-house, with techs covering Houston, Fresno TX, Pearland, Sugar Land, Stafford, Missouri City, Katy, and Channelview, 24 hours a day.

Staying safe while you wait
If you are on a freeway shoulder, get the vehicle as far right as you safely can, turn on your hazards, and stay buckled inside with the doors locked rather than standing in traffic. Texas law asks drivers to move over or slow down for stopped service vehicles, but never assume they will.
If anyone is injured, if a person or pet is locked inside a hot vehicle, or if the vehicle is in an unsafe position in live traffic, call 911 first. Emergency responders come before roadside assistance — tell our dispatcher as well so we can prioritise the call.
What we do (and what we don't)
We do: mobile jump starts, damage-free car lockouts, spare tire installation, mobile tire replacement, fuel delivery (unleaded and diesel), and heavy-duty roadside support for box trucks, sprinter vans, and semi trucks.
We don't: tow vehicles, sell extended warranties, or run hidden surcharges. If your job actually needs a tow, we'll tell you straight up and refer you to a vetted local tow operator instead of upselling you on something that won't help.
Why Houston drivers pick RANIT
Local dispatch. Honest, location-specific ETAs. Flat published pricing on most light-duty services. Damage-free tools. Secure payment links via email or SMS so you're not handing your card to a stranger in a parking lot. And techs who actually live in the metro — they know which exit you mean when you say "288 right before Pearland Parkway."
We also operate a membership program for fleets, property managers, hotel valet operations, and last-mile delivery companies who want priority dispatch and recurring-billing discounts across multiple Houston-area sites.
Houston metro service area
Our standard 24/7 dispatch area includes Houston, Fresno TX, Pearland, Sugar Land, Stafford, Missouri City, Katy, Channelview, Richmond, Rosenberg, Manvel, Iowa Colony, and Rosharon. We also routinely run freeway shoulder calls on I-10, I-45, I-69 (US-59), Beltway 8, Grand Parkway, 288, and Highway 6.
If you're outside that area, call anyway — the dispatcher will tell you honestly whether we can reach you in a reasonable time or refer you to a partner.
