Where you are in terms someone can find, what the car is doing, the make and model, and whether you are on a shoulder or a side street. Say if there are kids in the car or a pet, and say if the car has no spare. That last one changes which van they send.
Usually, with air wedges and a long reach tool, and most services will ask you to prove the car is yours first. Newer cars with side airbags in the door and pressure sensors are harder, and some technicians will decline rather than risk it. If the keys are locked in and the engine is running, say so, because that moves the call up the queue.
Most will bring enough to reach a gas station, and you pay for the fuel on top of the call. Diesel is the awkward one. If you have put the wrong fuel in the tank, say so and do not start the engine, because that is a drain-and-flush job, not a top-up.
