This emergency roadside service number may be used in the event that a university vehicle is disabled and located within the State of California. For out-of-state emergencies, contact Fleet Services during normal working hours or the UCD Police Department after hours. Emergency roadside service consists of such services as are intended to render the university vehicle capable of being safely operated and is limited to the following:

*Mechanical First Aid: Minor mechanical adjustments that may be effected at the scene of disablement to enable a university vehicle to be safely operated.

*Battery Service: A "jump start" applied to a discharged battery.

*Tire Change: Removal of a flat or damaged tire and replacement with the inflated spare carried by such university vehicle.

*Gasoline, Oil and Water Delivery: Delivery of gasoline, oil or water to a disabled university vehicle at the retail sales price of any gasoline or oil so delivered.

*Lockout: Retrieval of the ignition key when locked inside the university vehicle, to the extent that it is retrievable without material risk of damaging the university vehicle. This service does not include key making or locksmith service.

*Towing: Towing any university vehicle that cannot be safely operated from the scene of disablement to the business location of the nearest state or university approved service station or state operated garage. A university vehicle may be towed to the location of the servicing company when qualified repairs are not available, and held until further instructions are received from the university.

If National Automobile Club service is unsatisfactory or does not meet your needs, call Fleet Services @ (530) 752-0789 or the U.C. Davis Police @ (530) 752-1230. The Police Department has an emergency procedure to handle calls regarding disabled University vehicles.
