What to Do When Your Car Breaks Down on the Suncoast Parkway

The Suncoast Parkway (SR 589) runs up through Pasco County and beyond, and for a lot of Pinellas residents it's the route to and from jobs, weekend trips, and airports. It's also sparsely populated with services, which makes a breakdown feel way worse than it does on US-19. Here's what to do.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my exact location on the Suncoast?

Mile markers are the gold standard. They're every 0.1 miles along the shoulder. Share the marker number and direction of travel when you call for help.

Can I get a tow off the Suncoast to my home in Palm Harbor?

Yes. Long-distance tows from the Suncoast back to Pinellas County are routine for us. We'll quote you the total before dispatching so you know the cost.

Is there cell service along the whole Suncoast?

Mostly yes, but there are dead zones especially north of Pasco County. If your phone can't connect, walk to a rest area or flag a passing Florida Highway Patrol vehicle.
