Roadside assistance

[Riser]

How long is the roadside assistance for and what exactly is included?

Good question. I am going to stop by the dealer today and ask, they provide little to no info. on roadside assistance and I have not recieved anything in the mail from Toyota.

The finance guy told me there isn't any road side assistance when he was trying to sell me a warranty with RSA. A recent commercial suggested you get 25K maintenance and RSA with a new vehicle purchase. Curious what you find as it would be dissapointing to pay to have a tow while still under warranty.

I was under the impression, that through the SOS button we would get roadside assistance. Since we have the first year free, wouldn't we get roadside assistance for one year.

Has anyone else heard this, or am I completely off base?

we don't have SOS button here in Canada, but we got the following here (should be similar in US I think):

I can't speak for the vehicles without SOS, but with mine, I get 1 year of Road Side Assistance included with my "1 year" trial of SOS service. Honestly, after the year is over, I doubt I'll renew it. It seems a bit pricey to me for the services offerred.
