Safety standards

Verification before dispatch

Before a SUPERHERO can accept customer missions, S.O.S. requires license, insurance and background verification steps to be completed and reviewed. Providers who have only applied, or who are on standby, do not receive customer offers.

Accurate status

A request is not shown as assigned until a SUPERHERO accepts it. Arrival information comes from live mission data, not estimates presented as fact.

Safety at the roadside

Roadside work happens next to traffic. Georgia’s move-over law requires drivers approaching a stopped towing or recovery vehicle with flashing lights to change lanes when it is safe, or to slow down and be prepared to stop. Drivers waiting for help should stay away from travel lanes when they can.

Not a 911 service

S.O.S. is roadside assistance. If anyone is injured, in danger, or trapped, call 911 first. See S.O.S. is not 911.
