How to save Curbside SOS Dispatch to your home screen (iPhone)

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 iPhone home screen to access the tow dispatch and assign drivers.

Step 1

Launch Safari on your iPhone.

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 6

Tap Add in the top-right corner of the screen. Your new "Curbside SOS web app" will appear in the next available space on your device's Home screen.

Now you have the ability to dispatch tow jobs from your iPhone. If you are dispatching yourself to the job, you'll need to head to the official Curbside SOS app to still mark "On my way".

Extra tip

To move it like you would any other app, tap and hold its icon, then tap Edit Home Screen, and you'll be able to drag it to your desired location. When you've placed it where you want it, tap Done.

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.
