Help Us Help You

Please remember when you call to give our dispatcher an exact Lot location. For example " Lot 1" is not specific enough a location to help us locate your car quickly and efficiently. A caller might mention that he/she is located in the Northern section of lot 1b, in front of the Ludwig soccer field.

Please remember to include a detailed description of your car including make, model, color, license plate number, and type of problem experienced.

Please remain at your vehicle until the MAV vehicle arrives; persons needing jumpstarts should raise their hoods as well.
