This really is an east coast / west coast thing though.

West coasters are more insular and stereotypically suburbanite.
Nice but not kind.
Not outwardly hostile but won't break their own protected little bubble to help a stranger, usually.

East coast, we'll tell you you're an idiot for hitting that piece of slag in the road while helping you change a tire.
Kind, but not nice.
We go out of our way sometimes to help, but you're gonna get an earful or no conversation at all (as in OP's story).
