RoadKin
Launching in metro Detroit

Roadside assistance that respects the operator.

AAA pays the tow operator $40 on a job that retails for $250. That's why your wait is two to five hours. RoadKin pays operators what their work is worth — and charges owners less for showing up faster.

Are you a tow operator?

We pay 1.8–2.0×what AAA pays per comparable call (sized for Michigan's commercial-auto baseline). Platform fee capped at 15–18%. You set your hours, your service area, and your minimums. No $40 jobs.

Why RoadKin exists

The roadside category is broken on both sides. Operators get paid below cost. Owners wait hours for a tow. The middlemen take the rest.
