Breaking down in Garland
In Garland, the roads around you depend on which part of the city you stopped in. The LBJ Freeway passes through on its way from US-75 to I-30. The Bush Turnpike meets SH 78 at Firewheel Town Center, then its eastern extension swings through Sachse and Rowlett, crosses Lake Ray Hubbard on a bridge of about a mile and ends at I-30 in Garland's southeast corner. East of Bass Pro Drive, I-30 crosses the lake on a long causeway.
Help in Garland might mean a battery that quits after a hot day parked outside or at a Blue Line DART station, keys locked in at Firewheel or the Curtis Culwell Center after an event, or a spare-tire swap after you pull off I-635, I-30 or the Bush Turnpike with a flat.
Roads where we help Garland drivers
- I-635 (LBJ Freeway) Passes through Garland on the stretch between US-75 and I-30 that also runs through Dallas and Mesquite. Cross streets along that stretch include Jupiter Road and Northwest Highway, and frontage roads run on both sides. Say whether you're on the freeway or the frontage road, plus the last cross street.
- President George Bush Turnpike A cashless NTTA toll road. It meets SH 78 at Firewheel Town Center, and its eastern extension runs on through Sachse and Rowlett and over a one-mile Lake Ray Hubbard bridge to I-30 in southeast Garland.
- I-30 Crosses southeast Garland past Bass Pro Drive, then heads east over Lake Ray Hubbard toward Rowlett. If the car is struggling eastbound, take an exit before the lake instead of starting across the water.
- SH 78 (Lavon Drive) Runs northeast through Garland and is signed TX-78 North/Lavon Drive by Firewheel Town Center, where it meets the Bush Turnpike. Name the cross street, since the road goes by more than one name.

Local tips for Garland drivers
Crossing Lake Ray Hubbard
I-30 crosses Lake Ray Hubbard on a long causeway, and the President George Bush Turnpike crosses it on a bridge of about a mile. If the car is losing power as you head toward the water, take the last exit before the lake rather than stopping on the causeway or the bridge, then tell the dispatcher which road and which exit you used.
After an event at the Curtis Culwell Center
Concerts, cheer competitions, graduations and volleyball tournaments fill the lots around this Garland ISD arena on Naaman Forest Boulevard. When the crowd clears and yours is the car that won't crank, stay with it, name the arena entrance nearest your car, and turn on your hazard lights so the technician picks your car out quickly.
Parked at Firewheel Town Center
Firewheel Town Center is an outdoor, Main Street-style center, with parking along Cedar Sage Drive, Coneflower Drive and Horseshoe Drive and more around the edges. Name the street and the store or restaurant you're parked closest to, so the technician pulls up beside your car instead of circling the whole center.

Roadside help in Garland: common questions
Do you cover every part of Garland?
Yes. Garland's 75040, 75041, 75042, 75043 and 75044 ZIP codes are inside Pit Stop's core coverage, whether you're near the LBJ Freeway, up in Firewheel or out by I-30 and Bass Pro Drive. Arrival is typically 30–45 minutes, and the dispatcher at (214) 367-5302 works out the timing for your exact address.
My car is failing on I-30 near Bass Pro Drive. What should I do?
Call 911 before anything else if there's an injury or your car is stopped in a lane. If the car will still go, leave the freeway at the next exit, and eastbound drivers should do that before the Lake Ray Hubbard bridge rather than stopping out over the water. Then ring (214) 367-5302, say which way you were headed and which exit you took. Wait in the car with your belt on, or well behind the guardrail.
Do you come to the Blue Line stations in Garland?
Yes. Technicians come to the Downtown Garland and Forest/Jupiter stations on the Blue Line for dead batteries, lockouts and flats. Phone (214) 367-5302 and say which station and where you left the car. After a jump, the technician can check the battery and charging system, so you learn whether the battery will get you home or should be replaced.
Can you put my spare on in a Firewheel Town Center parking lot?
Yes. Call (214) 367-5302 from the lot, mention the closest store or restaurant, and say your spare is in the car. The technician mounts the spare and puts the flat in your trunk. If the spare is missing or flat too, ask about tire delivery; the dispatcher checks size, availability and price on the call.
While you wait
- Get out of traffic. If the car still rolls, ease onto the shoulder, the next exit ramp or a parking lot.
- Hazards on. Turn on your flashers. At night, keep your parking lights on too.
- Stay clear of the lanes. On a highway, stay buckled in the car or stand well behind the guardrail. Never between the car and traffic.
- Keep your phone free. The dispatcher may call back to confirm the spot. Keep the line open and the phone charged.
