Is there a sticker on your window w/ the phone number....i think i remember peeling them off but im not sure....i have the number (its in the manual) but i was wondering about the stickers. Fortunately I havent had to use the service yet. I cancelled my AAA roadside assistance when I got the Vibe w/ the ROADSIDE program.-PHIL

I used it twice with my Montana. I took about 30-40 mins to get the towing on site.

I just thought you couldn't remember the number off-hand so I was just letting everyone know it's an easy number to remember. If you need roadside assistance, just call 1-800-roadside. Simple, huh?

i was along when roadside assistance was needed, on a huntning vacation trip over near LaCrosse (Houston, MN) to be exact, at dark the fuel pump went out in my dads GMC truck so we had to call roadside assistance or AAA and a toetruck came and toed the truck back within 15-30 mins i'd say

Other pontiacs have a sticker in the window, but no, the Vibe does not...at least mine doesn't, and I haven't seen any that DO have it...

Mine had one sticker applied to the window, and 3 extra stickers in the manual. Maybe the stickers are one of those dealer prep items like adjusting the tire pressure.

I had a flat tire and the response time was 30 mins. I found the phone number with my car manual in the spare tire compartment.When he took the flat off, he commented on the extremely rusty wheel nuts and they difficulty in "kicking" off the tire.

I have stickers on the two rear passenger windows, but I think I'll take them off because the dealer stuck them on crooked.

Gotta be a dealer thing. I have those, and the "this car is protected by an anti-theft system" stickers that're not too well placed. But that's okay, it means a burglar would think I have a crappy factory alarm, and not the loud-(removed) Viper I have in there.Never used the roadside assistance, tho..
