With a new mobile website<\/strong>, an iPhone App<\/strong>, and an updated, easier to use, homepage<\/strong> you won’t be stuck for long with winter. <\/p>\n

The Preview Edition of the 4RoadService iPhone App has been available for a while now in the App Store, but we are looking for even more feedback. If you’ve got an iPhone try it out<\/a>, then tell us what would make you use it every time you break down<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We recently launched our mobile website at 4RS.mobi<\/a><\/strong>. It uses the latest HTML5 technology to bring the power of 4RoadService.com to your phone or tablet. Even better, phones where the technology is available it can use the phone’s GPS and search for service providers who are close to your actual location. You no longer have to guess what city you are in.<\/strong> Just choose what you need, how far away you want it, and tap the “My Location” button. If your phone doesn’t have a GPS, or doesn’t support accessing it from a web page, you can use 4RS.mobi<\/a> by selecting your city & state just like on 4RoadService.com, but with a design optimized for use on a phone.<\/p>\n

Our updated home page<\/strong> has been designed to make searching faster and easier. We noticed that many people were clicking the “Find Road Service” tab at the top of the site to go to the search page, so we brought a bigger, faster, search page to the homepage of the site, (of course, you can still use search page<\/a> if you want). Since we put the made the update live last week the new search form has been a hit – it’s now the most clicked-on item on our home page.<\/p>\n

As always, please let us know<\/a> what we can do to make it even easier to get service on the road. We know what it’s like to be broken down in the winter and want to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
