thanks for the tip! since i don't have AAA - good to know there's someone i can call!

here are the highlights:

Operators assist motorists by providing the following services free of charge:
gasoline and oil for those in need
add air to tires or change flat tires
provide a "jump" for dead batteries
other minor automotive repairs
...

FOR ASSISTANCE ON INTERSTATES AND PARKWAYS:
1-877-FOR-KYTC
(1-877-367-5982)

They could not have helped you with two flat tires unless you carry two spares. They don't provide tow services.

its a free service. Also, if your alternator gets disconnected your battery will die on the interstate. I am well accustomed to this experience.
