The Outer Ring Road between Marathahalli Bridge and Hope Farm is where east Bangalore stalls. Hazard lights, a battery that dies in crawl, a tyre that gives up in the right-most lane. Relatim is not a dedicated tow truck on every kilometre of this stretch. It is a live-location check for verified help that can actually reach you.
First two minutes
Hazards on, get out of the live lane if you can, share live location on WhatsApp. Car or bike, will it start, do you have a spare. That is enough to start roadside assistance instead of a generic garage search.
What we can usually try
Jump start, puncture or spare, minor on-spot electrics, tow to a nearby workshop when the vehicle cannot move. We will say no if we cannot reach you safely on the ORR — better than a promise stuck behind the next flyover.
