🚗 From Rental Cars to Roadside Hero

My journey into roadside assistance didn’t start in a workshop or a formal training course — it began with a car rental company in Malta. I handled everything, including rescuing stranded drivers. I quickly realized I loved roadside work the most.

Later, I opened my own car rental business, but when COVID-19 hit, I had to close. During that tough period, I thought about what people always need, pandemic or not: help on the road. So, I invested in a small truck and started my roadside assistance service, built from the ground up with one mission — helping people fast, whenever and wherever they needed me.

⚡ Why Speed Is Everything

I focus on providing the fastest possible response time in Malta, always aiming to arrive within 30 minutes. When that’s not possible, I immediately send a trusted partner to make sure no one is left waiting.

Customers often tell me, "You arrived so fast, even though you’re a bit more expensive — it was worth every cent." Others say they felt completely panicked at first, but after talking to me and seeing me arrive quickly, they relaxed and felt safe.

💪 The Toughest Challenges on the Road

In five years of operation, I’ve faced jobs that tested everything I know.

The most intense? A baby locked inside a car, with the mother screaming and the baby crying. I dropped everything, called my other waiting clients to explain, and rushed over immediately. I shut out all the noise and emotion, opened the car safely and fast, and handed the baby back to the grateful mother — a moment I’ll always remember.

Another unforgettable job happened in the middle of the night: a car left hanging off a cliff. I called another truck to assist, and together we carefully pulled it back, inch by inch. It was nerve-wracking and required absolute focus — but we saved the car without damage.

😅 The Unexpected and the Funny

Some rescues are unforgettable for lighter reasons.

Like the couple who took their car down to a secluded beach for a romantic night and got it hopelessly stuck in sand. They were laughing and embarrassed, and I had to pull them out quietly before sunrise.

Or the tourist who blindly followed Google Maps into a muddy field, ending up stuck in the middle of nowhere. When I arrived, he was standing in ankle-deep mud, totally defeated. After I rescued him, he said it was the "craziest part of his vacation" — and probably the story he tells the most back home!

🔧 Experience That Can’t Be Taught

I learned directly on the road, working with experienced operators from other companies. No classroom or manual can prepare you for real roadside challenges — you only learn by doing.

For example, certain modern vehicles can’t easily be shifted to neutral. Many operators avoid these jobs or risk serious damage. I’ve invested in specialized tools to move these vehicles safely, protecting both the car and my clients' peace of mind.

💙 My Philosophy

To me, roadside assistance is a way to help people, not just move cars. Every call is a chance to turn someone's stressful day around and make them feel safe. I treat every client as if they were my own family waiting on the side of the road.

✅ Top Tips to Avoid Breakdowns

Keep your car well serviced and check it before long trips.
Don’t ignore warning lights, even if they seem minor.
Always check your battery — especially in extreme weather.
If you break down, stay calm. Panic never helps — and help is always on the way.
