Roadside assistance in Dubuque starts from $79 with Dubuque Roadside: call (563) 239-6326, day or night. We cover Dubuque, Delaware, Jackson and Clayton counties for jump starts, lockouts, flats, fuel and tows. You get the price and the timing on the phone, and you decide.
Calls answered 24/7. Price and timing confirmed before anyone is sent.
Tell us the road, the nearest cross street or exit, and which way you were driving.
When a jump will not hold, a new battery can be brought out and fitted where the car sits. If the spare is missing or flat too, a replacement tire can be mounted where it is safe to work. The part sets the price, so we quote both on the call. Describe the car, and read the tire size off the sidewall if you can.
Four U.S. highways serve Dubuque: US-20, US-151, US-61 and US-52, plus Iowa 3. Not one of the four counties we cover has a mile of interstate. Through the city, US-20 is Dodge Street, at least four lanes wide but with nine stoplights. Most of those lights sit on the western edge. A short controlled-access stretch then drops into the Mississippi valley and onto the Julien Dubuque Bridge to Illinois. US-61 and US-151 share the north-south expressway through town.
If the car quits on Dodge Street, pull into a side street or a lot entrance off the through lanes. On the expressway, roll as far onto the right shoulder as it will go. Put the hazards on and keep your belt fastened. A crash, an injury or a car stuck in a live lane is a 911 call first.
Winter brings the snow routes. Once 3 inches or more fall and the city announces it, odd/even parking applies on 34 miles of Dubuque's busiest streets. A car on the wrong side is fined $50. The full rules, the plowing goals and the flood stages are on hills and snow emergencies.
We cover Dubuque, Delaware, Jackson and Clayton counties, from the Wisconsin bridge to the Manchester exits and from Sabula to Guttenberg. These towns have a page of their own:
Peosta sits off US-20 exit 308, County Road Y21, also signed for Northeast Iowa Community College. Epworth has exit 304, County Road Y17. At Bierman Road there, Iowa DOT closed the US-20/US-52 median crossing for good starting Aug. 17, 2026. Only right-in and right-out turns remain. Bellevue, Cascade, Guttenberg, Elkader and McGregor are on the same number, and their highways are on the roads page.
Every from-price, what raises it, and how a city or police tow is released are on Dubuque towing prices. The roads page covers the highways, closures on record and 511. Each main route also has a guide of its own: US-20 and the Julien Dubuque Bridge, US-61/151 through Dubuque and US-52 and the Great River Road.
| Service | From | What raises it |
|---|---|---|
| Towing | From $115 | Distance, winching, a crash scene, after-hours timing and storage |
| Winch-out and recovery | From $122 | How far off the road the car sits, deep mud or snow, or a second pull |
| Flat tire change | From $92 | Wheel locks without their key, a second flat, or no usable spare |
| Replacement tires | Price on the call | Tire size, brand and stock |
| Jump start | From $79 | A battery that will not hold a charge |
| Battery replacement | Price on the call | Battery size and type |
| Car lockout | From $79 | Deadlocks or alarms that take more time |
| Fuel delivery | From $79 | The fuel itself, charged at the pump price |
| Mobile mechanic | Price on the call | Parts, and whether the repair can be done where the car sits |
These are base prices. The final price can go up with availability, time of day or night, distance, weather, vehicle type and similar factors. You get the final price before anyone is sent.

Roadside assistance in Dubuque starts at $79, the from-price for a jump start. Lockouts, flats, fuel and tows each have their own from-price on our price list. The hour, the distance, the weather and your vehicle can raise the final figure. We tell you that figure on the call, and you can say no.
Tell us the highway, the exit number or nearest cross street, and the direction you were heading. On Dodge Street, a cross street such as Grandview Avenue or Crescent Ridge works. On US-61/151, use an exit such as 187 for Grandview Avenue. If someone is hurt or a car sits in a live lane, call 911 first.
We cover all of Dubuque, Delaware, Jackson and Clayton counties, so Asbury, Dyersville, Maquoketa and Manchester are included. Those towns use the same price list as the city, with a tow from $115. Distance is one of the things that can raise the final price. We tell you that price on the phone first.
No membership or sign-up is needed for roadside help in Dubuque. You agree to a price for the one job you call about, and you pay for that job alone. Nothing is owed between calls. A flat tire change, for example, starts from $92, and we quote it on the phone before anything is booked.
