Fuel Delivery

Out of gas in Corpus Christi? We bring fuel to you.

Quick Tow Corpus Christi runs mobile fuel delivery across the Coastal Bend for drivers who run dry on the freeway, in a parking lot, or anywhere a walk to the nearest station is unsafe or impractical. Our trucks carry up to 5 gallons of regular unleaded for emergencies, and we can route a diesel or premium-rated tank if you call ahead. The driver pours, you start the engine, and we get you to the next station. No tow needed in most cases.

What do drivers ask about Fuel Delivery?

How much does mobile fuel delivery cost in Corpus Christi?

Our flat service fee is $75, plus the cost of the fuel itself (we charge what we pay - no markup on the gas). Most calls total $90-$110 for 2-3 gallons. We don't charge extra for nights, weekends, holidays, or freeway calls.

How much fuel do you bring?

Up to 5 gallons of regular unleaded. That is enough to get you to any gas station in the Coastal Bend and have a buffer left over. We do not sell more than 5 gallons because once you can make it to a real pump, you should refuel properly - filling a vehicle from jerry cans is slow and you do not want to do it on a freeway shoulder.

Do you offer diesel delivery in Corpus Christi?

Yes. We run mobile diesel delivery across Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend for diesel trucks, work vehicles, RVs, and equipment that run dry. Call dispatch, tell us it is diesel, and we route a truck stocked for it. Diesel and premium runs a bit longer, 45-60 minutes, since we may fuel up first. We do not bring kerosene, racing fuel, or E85.

What if I am on the freeway?

Stay in the vehicle with seatbelts fastened and hazards on. Tell us your closest exit number, the freeway, and your direction of travel. We respond directly to freeway shoulder calls every day - SPID, I-37, US-181, US-77, SH-44, and the Crosstown. DPS may also stop by if traffic is hazardous; that is normal.

What if my EV ran out of charge - do you bring electricity?

No. There is no equivalent of a portable charger that can give an EV meaningful range in a few minutes on the side of the road - the physics are different. If your EV is out of charge, the right move is a flatbed to the nearest Supercharger or Level-3 station. We provide that flatbed transport at our standard EV-tow rate.

Do I have to be AAA to call for fuel delivery?

No. Quick Tow Corpus Christi is pay-per-call - no membership fee, no waiting for enrollment, no need to be a AAA member. If you have AAA roadside, call them first since they will reimburse the call. If you don't, save the annual fee and call us direct.
