Roadside assistance in Pakistan: towing, jump starts and tyre changes

Updated 4 November 2026

A jump start in Pakistan costs about Rs 1,500 and a tyre change about Rs 2,500, while car towing starts from about Rs 8,000. Prices depend on distance and where the car is, so the fastest way to a firm figure is a request on BlaBlaPrice with your location.

Recovery prices rise with distance. One independent towing guide puts a tow at Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000 depending on the distance, and motorway recovery is listed separately from city work. Many providers confirm the cost by phone before they come to you, so ask for the price in writing before the truck leaves.

Local rules and what the driver needs

The local results name no licence needed to offer roadside help, so check the provider's details and ask what they need from you before they start. Have the car's registration papers and your CNIC ready when you call, because a provider may need them to confirm the vehicle.

The season and the heat

The desert climate in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad brings very hot summers from May to September, when waiting by a broken-down car in the sun is hard, and mild winters from November to March, when waiting for help is far more comfortable. Save the emergency number in your phone before the hot months, whatever the season.

How it is priced and what to say

Prices are quoted per job or per distance, and towing is quoted separately from a jump start or tyre change. Give your location and the nearest landmark, the car make and model, what happened, what the car needs and the time you need help. Mention site conditions, such as a narrow street or a motorway, and your budget, so the provider can send the right vehicle.

Describe the breakdown in a request on BlaBlaPrice. It is free for buyers: the AI reads your request, asks for missing details and looks through provider websites and price lists in Pakistan, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their price and terms, and your number stays hidden until you choose to share it. For the car itself, see Car & motorcycle servicing.
