The person who answered the phone was very helpful and courteous, the truck got to me in record time, and the driver was also super helpful and professional. On top of all that, their price was extremely reasonable. I would happily recommend them to anyone!”

My battery died a few blocks from home. Adam from 1st Response Roadside showed up in less than half an hour. He checked the battery, charged it, then offered to come to my home, install a new battery and take away the old one. He was very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. I was very glad I didn't have to take my car to a mechanic and wait for someone to get to it.”

I called AAA roadside. They sent me GTS. Preston, the driver, was very professional, timely, and quickly loaded my van to get it to the dealership before they closed so they could assess the situation. Preston knew what he was doing and got my van safely loaded on the bed and secured. This is much appreciated as I am a permanent wheelchair user. The van, like my wheelchair, is my freedom and mobility. They both allow me to be independent. Thank you Preston and GTS, and AAA roadside! 😊”

What this Gainesville ranking is based on
Every company on this page is ranked on two published inputs: its Google review rating and the number of Google reviews behind that rating. Rating decides order first; review volume breaks ties, because a 5.0 average from 8 reviews is weaker evidence than a 4.8 average from 900.
We do not accept payment for placement, and no company can buy a higher rank in Florida. Companies may claim their profile and submit verification, which adds a verified marker but does not change ranking position. The complete calculation, including how we handle missing data, is published on our methodology page.
Ratings and review counts for Gainesville, FL are refreshed as new Google review data is collected. When the underlying data changes, this page and its ranked order change with it.
