We know you aren't always in front of your computer screen to dispatch tow jobs to your drivers. Below are instructions on how you can set up a Curbside SOS Website link on your Android home screen to access the tow dispatch and assign drivers.

Step 1

Launch Chrome or any internet browser on your phone.

Step 2

Navigate to the Curbside SOS Dispatch website (https://dashboard.curbsidesos.com/tower) to create the home screen shortcut. Click "Save Password" on your phone which will enable you to log in quicker.

Step 5

Type a name for your site link. This will be the title that appears beneath its icon on your Home screen. We'd recommend using the word "Dispatch" because this is the place you'll dispatch jobs from.

About Curbside SOS

Curbside SOS is an open marketplace for motorists who require roadside assistance & towing help but don't want all of the costs & complications that come with road club memberships. We connect motorists in need with emergency assistance professionals to allow them to directly quote how much they would charge for the job in real time with more transparency and tracking than alternatives, getting you back on the road as quickly as possible, for less than you'd think.
