Dawgs Roadside Rescue, a 24/7 roadside assistance and towing company serving Athens and surrounding communities, has expanded its community education efforts with the launch of a new podcast, Roadside Rescue Radio.

The podcast was created to give drivers practical, easy to understand information about common roadside situations, including flat tires, dead batteries, vehicle lockouts, jumpstarts, towing, roadside safety, and mobile tire replacement.

The first episode focuses on what drivers should do when they get a flat tire but do not have a usable spare. The episode covers safety considerations, when a tire may be repairable, when replacement is necessary, and how mobile tire replacement can sometimes help a driver avoid having the entire vehicle towed to a tire shop.

Dawgs Roadside Rescue has also expanded the educational content available on its website, including roadside safety articles, frequently asked questions, and service information designed to help drivers understand their options before and during a roadside emergency.

“We spend a lot of time helping people who are already stressed, stranded, or unsure of what to do,” said Joe, owner of Dawgs Roadside Rescue. “We wanted to create something that helps people before they ever need us. If somebody can listen to an episode or read one of our articles and feel more prepared when something goes wrong, then we’re doing something useful for the community.”

The company plans to continue publishing episodes of Roadside Rescue Radio covering roadside safety, batteries, tires, towing, vehicle lockouts, and other common problems drivers encounter.

Dawgs Roadside Rescue is also developing additional informational and educational video content to show drivers how roadside situations are handled safely and what to expect when professional roadside assistance arrives.

Based in Athens, Dawgs Roadside Rescue provides 24/7 roadside assistance and towing throughout Athens and surrounding communities. Services include mobile tire replacement, tire changes, jumpstarts, mobile battery replacement, vehicle lockouts, towing, and other roadside assistance.
